Trucking: Some Suggestions, commercial trucking, trucking company


Question
I have a furniture company that has grown over the years and I have been making Deliveries in my own Van / 14' trailer.  There is a tax issue when making deliveries in my own truck/van.  The problem with using a regular commercial trucking company is that we offer services such as assembly/repairs.  

I like to open my own Commercial delivery service that would be considered a "Commercial Carrier".. And offer our services to other companies (Small deliveries only under bulbs)  I do not own or operate a large Rig.. W e just have 2 small Econline vans and a 14' trailer - We make around 100 Deliveries a year. (PA/NJ/NY/MD/CT/MA). I'm not sure what I need to do since we will not be operating a large Rig.

thank you for your help

Answer
Hi Mark, If you haul for hire interstate, you will need Federal Authority and process agents, which I can obtain for you. see my web site: longdataser.com  And you will need liability insurance with limit of $750,000 filed by you agent for the authority also.  Contact me if further info is needed.  JLong2500@aol.com  J P Long
