Perhaps you could explain in more detail. I am not sure why he is shaky or what your relationship is with him. If you are using your truck and running your authority, I would not want to run under someone else authority part time. From a legal standpoint, I am not sure you could actually do it anyway. The DOT doesn't like to see two sets of numbers on the truck. You could probably just trip lease from him and carry a load now and then. If I understand your post, you want to run your authority, but don't have your own trailer. You will need to haul loads for this guy so that you can use his trailers? Unless you have your own trailer, you may find it difficult to find loads as easily as if you owned your own. Having said that, there are some opportunities to supply power only. I have spoken to those who only have power and they tell me that they do pretty well, but they also lease to a power only carrier. If you can't afford to get your own trailer, I suggest waiting until you can either purchase or rent a trailer.
