Show Description Trucking with Authority could just as well be called Motor Carrier 101: An introduction to becoming a motor carrier with your own authority. We explore the ins and outs of becoming a motor carrier, covering a wide range of topics such as: how to apply and deal with the FMCSA; record keeping; compliance; sales and marketing; working with brokers; and building relationships with direct customers.

Kenny proudly served alongside his brothers and sisters, operating flatbeds and heavy equipment trucks in areas where an improperly-secured load posed a risk much greater than just an OOS violation. When Kenny returned home in 2012, he decided to get his own authority, along with a plan of teaching his wife Elizabeth to drive his truck. Although she’d never even been inside a truck, Elizabeth was a quick study. They’ve been operating as a team ever since, and enjoy exploring and absorbing the sights of our beautiful nation together. Over the 17 years that he’s officially worked in the trucking industry, Kenny has always considered himself to be self-employed.
