    Are you a lease purchase op or just leased on to another carrier?

    When you book loads, the shipper usually will ask for a certificate of insurance naming them a certificate holder, so really you are not going to be able to circumvent letting the lessors know about this if you plan to pursue it. Because they will have to initiate the certificate of insurance for the company that you want to haul for. Plus your hauling it under their MC# and their name. So obviously the billing will be expected to come from them.

    If you want to haul these loads without them getting any part of it, you either need to change the lease contract, or get your own authority and insurance.
