Use of someones DOT and MC#?

The problem is to add you on to run under our numbers would require you to be on our insurance also and someone has to pay, lease on to a carrier until you save up some money.

 

I think it's honorable that you wish to support your family in this endeavor but i highly doubt anyone in their right mind would allow a complete stranger to have free rein over their authority..but stranger things do happen in this industry. Have you tried calling around for quotes? You know when you initially open an insurance policy, you can put down a certain percentage to get the policy started, i think the norm is somewhere around ≈20% so you don't have to pay all of it up front. You could however always lease onto a carrier.

 

Takes Money to make Money!

 

Just ask them to finance the insurance, that is what I did when I first started out. You put a small down payment & finance the rest over 9 months.

 

Lease on with someone. There are a lot of companies in the RV hauling business that would sign you on.

 

I suggest you buy a dual axle 16' trailer with a GVWR 10,000 lbs or less then you are exempt from the federal regulations. You are not for hire, you won't need a CDL unless you have separate state laws. Your only federal requirement will be a DOT medical card. Then you only have to meet state minimum insurance regulations.
