Linden Bulk Transportation LLC is a bulk truck and intermodal transportation company based in Linden, New Jersey. Linden Bulk Transportation strives to hire only the most qualified company drivers and owner operators.
Individuals who desire to become an owner operator must first have a registered US Department of Transportation (USDOT) number. Candidates must then request a motor carrier (MC) number from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which requires a $300 filing fee.
After obtaining the authority to operate, owner operators are required by the FMCSA to have certain insurance coverage depending on the type of trucking authority (common carrier or contract carrier) desired and the type of goods that will be transported. Requirements are detailed on the official site of the FMCSA.
It is important for owner operators to clearly define what type of client they want to haul for, and to be strategic about the shippers they work with. Starting out, load boards may be helpful, but contacting shippers directly may prove more beneficial in the long term. If an owner operator is leasing a truck from a company, he or she will likely be required to haul for that company.
