Do companies recognize running your own authority as "experience"?
Even if your just starting out and fresh out of school?

You may need to supply BOL's or shipper/broker contacts and/or names. You could also furnish them with log books, fuel receipts, etc., to prove the time you were running under your own authority. They could check to see who long you had your MC# and could check with your insurance company concerning claims to verify your experience and whether you actually were running your authority. In short, you will probably need to jump through a few hoops to prove your experience. By the way, if you plan on running your own authority, the insurance company will probably want to verify that you have had at least 2 years of driving experience. They can tell how long you have had a CDL when they check your MVR.
