    Im looking to buy a 2001 frieghtliner xl with 200,000 miles from a buddy who wants out of the OTR work. I only have a class A with minimum experience. he is selling me the truck with some plates that allow me to work for a company without having my own DOT & ICC# and using theirs. Is that permissible ? can i do that without even having my own business name? please help.

    Sure, you own the truck and lease it on to a company doing their authority etc.

    Have you never been to a repair shop in a truck? It all depends on your capabilities really, but the best tool to have is $100 bills. it will always get the job done and you won't get dirty.

    The odometers don't last that long, someone probably replaced it 200,000 miles ago :p

    All you need is one of these. If the front end don't work, the back end gets-r-done. Also tends to make panhandlers and lizards go the other way.
