Revoke Authority but keep plate - TX

So I started my authority 4 months ago, but am still leased on to a carrier. Decided with the impending doom of the cyclic trucking industry slowdown to “voluntarily revoke” (put on hold) my authority until the next explosion of freight (LOL). I was power only and this will give me more time to buy a soon-to-be cheap trailer.

Wondering if there is a way in TX to keep my appotioned license plate without paying minimum $750 month insurance payment. Thought about just bobtail insurance, but was told, nope not on apportion plate. Anyone got an idea? Thanks to everyone sharing the wisdom.

 

This guy has been a member of Truckers Report since 2018 and has 200 messages, and instead of creating his own thread, just hijacks this thread with no relevant info to the original post. Why don’t the MODs stop this crap? Every post someone asks for help, and then 2 drivers hijack it with nonsense. What a shame, this site used to be so valuable. But then again, we will probably be saying that same thing about America.

 

Yes, you are absolutely correct! So long story short, I went to TX DMV after revoking my authority and cancelling my insurance, and explained I’m still leased to a company with their insurance. After dealing with my company insurance lady and DMV lady not knowing what I could do, I called Progressive. Smart lady at Progressive puts my on $600 a year (similar to bobtail) insurance with 50 mile radius, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY will not report to TX an absence of coverage. But your right, i could have just given DMV my carrier Certificate of Insurance, but when I mentioned that to my company, they literally didn’t know what that Cert was. Really appreciate the responses guys, sorry about the frustration.

 

You’re an absolute fool. I don’t get mad at fools like you, I just thank God everyday that I’m not one also. I pity your family.
