Ready to make the leap... sort of
Has anyone got a total of the current costs for getting your own DOT authority? I know the insurance costs are going to vary, but there's lots of fixed costs, I am guessing, that shouldn't vary much from state to state (going for the $1M package, by the way, rather than the minimum $750k).
Thanks for any help.

Doing that for myself by establishing a relationship with some brokers that aren't going to load me up with sucky freight. And, by the way... the answer to my question is approximately $5500, though as you say, it will vary some. It could be up to $3000 less if you won't be running Oregon, though, because OR requires a $2500 bond for permit. Got these figures in one package from DAT.

I forgot to mention.... that doesn't include the insurance. That is going to be somewhere in the near vicinity of $16,000. And, I used the maximum figures I got from DAT. That accounts for the extra $500 variance between the Oregon bond and the $3000 figure.
