    As passingthru69 stated, check with OOIDA, Progressive and maybe a truck insurance broker.

    If he is running under someone's authority, he has to be under that company cargo insurance.
    He can shop around only for bobtail insurance

    Company handles cargo and liability. You pay physical damage and bobtail.

    Yes. You get the physical damage and bobtail. Whether you get them from the carrier you lease onto is up to you.

    You can put insurance on your tractor or get coverage under their authority, that doesn't matter.

    However the cargo insurance is on them, I think by law they have to carry it.
