First off let me say that I am in no way telling you that you should do this just under the radar of the DOT BUT.........

To truck legally you pretty much need to do it all the time. To haul anything for profit across state lines you need a ICC# (interstate authority). To haul in state you need intrastate authority. To be able to get either one of these you need to have 1,000,000 in liability insurance. I do not think any one can afford this kind of insurance and truck part time.

In my personal opinion I would say most people that haul for profit part time are doing it with out proper authority and insurance. The DOT thinks you are hauling your own stuff. This works great because you get to charge rates that pay for this insurance with out the added cost of it. Then you get in a accident and the lawyers pick you apart piece by piece.

Now if you still want to know about trucking after reading this; post back and I will go into it.
