I am feeling extremely overwelmed. I am probably making a huge issue out of something that is simple. But I simply don't understand what to do. I have been working the road for ten years on my own and never payed much attension to leagalities of the road. I own a duelly pick up and a 40' cargo trailer that I have been running antiques all over the country. I have been getting hassled from DOT and feel my luck is running out and need to get legal. It's all greak and overwellming to me. What I am thinking of doing is running antiques all over part time and running small cargo trailers from a local manufacturer with my 50' car trailer. I want to do this right but I'm not sure where to go and what to do. I check FMCSA site but don't understand it. I really need guideness and would be so ever gratful for someone to lead me in the right direction.

You need to join OOIDA. They have a department that will work with you and help you get your authority and everything you need to run legally. It's been said many times on here that everyone should join OOIDA. This is one of many reasons why.

You can join online at www.ooida.com or call them. If you give the name and member number of a current member you get $20 off your membership. You can use mine from below or anyone else you know that's a member.

Please do. I'd be happy for everyone to use my number to join. I'd be happiest if everyone joined whether using my number or anyone else's so long as they all join.

Hey Leo , OOIDA gave $3,000 fuel card to a member for referring the most new members . Unless there was a misprint he only referred 23 members . Same guy won last year . I wonder how many joined just from reading your posts here ? You're not getting the credit you deserve . OOIDA should give members links with their membership numbers to use when referring new members .

I didn't know they gave such a big thank you for new members. I certainly wouldn't turn it down but I'm trying to get people to join for the good of everyone. As long as people put in the member number of whoever referred them the credit is given. I think having additional websites would be confusing. The main thing though is getting as many members as possible.

I joined last year but forgot I joined. I started the process a year ago but the insurance scared me away. It's now time for a change and get things right.I'll be calling tomorrow. Any good leads on insurance ? Also I am thinking of doing a couple of different things such as hauling cars with one trailer occationally and hauling antiques or whatever I can haul the other times. I want to stay west. Is there a market for working this way or should I just throw in the towl sell everything and go drive for someone?

Great West Casualty thru Transport Insurance Agency. Panther carries Great West, or at least they did when I was with them two years ago. They had good rates when I was looking, and I'll try em again soon. Their main office is in Sylvania, OH.
