Made lots of since bro I was confused years ago just like you but to be honest it’s best to just go ahead and grab that USDOT and MC together that way you don’t need to go back for anything else like you said. I’m sure you just helped a lot of people out with how simple this is!
I'm in!! I've been a company driver for the same company for 22 years, while raising my kids. Now it's time to do what I've always wanted to, have my own truck. Thanks for the info, I'll be back!
Thanks man def appreciate your content, would love to see a video with recommendations on how to grow your trucking business in the current market and whether or not you think it’s a wise move to purchase a second or third truck when freight rates are relatively lower than the previous years. Would also like to hear how long it took for you to generate and see a profit after you were granted authority and got your truck as well as how long it took you to start the business itself. More specifically if you had to cover any of the fixed or variable expenses out of pocket for a while before you were able to turn a profit when you first started out. Thanks
I'm new to the hotshot game or trucking industry all I was looking for was to connect with someone that has knowledge about what I'm perusing AWESOME JOB DAVE.💯Prolific
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about online freight broker training courses try Dalz Freight Discovery (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Could I just get 1 of the numbers if I'm staying with in my state lines?? Or do the application come with both? Someone please reply to help a young man out!!
I wanna get the MC just in case i wanna go cross country, which ill pay $300 but now it asks me for an arbitration program which is $180 a year😕, great video! Thats why i asked cause you explained very well😎
Shit, I'm driving a 26ft box truck under a lady who just started her business and its a rental truck. We went to the rental spot together, so 👀 know. Got me thinking now🤔. I'm gonna do my own thing, instead of this 20% a load, I can take in 100% with a rental.
Great content. No one seems to answer this question I have tho. My question is once you get your DOT/MC/Authority do you have to go get your truck right away and get insurance? Or can you just let your authority sit and get some age before you go get your first truck?
I MISSPELLED THE NAME OF MY DBA WHILE FILING FOR MY USDOT APPLICATION,THE PROCESS ALREADY WENT THROUGH. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT TO CORRECT IT? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS, BLESSINGS TO YOU FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Its crazy...so many different explanation and different rules...i even spoke with people from compliance departments and they say i need a mc# even though im not crossing state line...i have a 16ft box truck...smh...feels like im throwing away money for insurance and may not need to...more research i will be doing
Here in Indiana, MC isn’t required if not crossing state lines. Once you complete the MCS-150 and answer the questions according to your type of business, they (FMCSA) will tell you what further requirements you have
Hey! I see a lot of trailers and tractors with IN plates. What does IN state offer that other states don't? What laws/rules are different? If you understand what I'm trying to ask.
You do a great job of breaking this information down Dave. I can't believe someone would give you a thumbs down. More power to ya!!!😁
People with intra state#
@@pericochief i dont understand. Could you please explain for somebody like myself that is sincerely trying to learn. Thank you boss.

Thank you for this ! We’re a start up company in Indiana so it’s helpful opposed to watching the truckers from GA due to the differences in laws
My brother you are a very good teacher. This is the best I've ever heard it explained.
Hello, MR David McGill: Thank you for breaking down the finer points of the DOT Number distinctions.
I'm in!! I've been a company driver for the same company for 22 years, while raising my kids. Now it's time to do what I've always wanted to, have my own truck.
Thanks for the info, I'll be back!

So basically you said if I'm intrastate, I don't need a mc number? Am I correct?

Your authority won’t go active until you get insurance
