Well you are looking to bite off quite a bit. To run your own loads you need operating authority,IRP Registration,process agents in the states you run and cargo and public liability insurance.
There are agencies which for a fee will do all the paperwork and get you set up to go. I would suggest you join up with OOIDA ( there is a link on the home page) and they can take care of all of your needs.
I would also strongly suggest that you invest the time to come to Louisville at the end of the month and attend the MATTS ,this is the largest truck show in the country and if youhave patience you can get all of your questions answered.Also EO runs workshops for prospective expediters through out the year.
