Intrastate Operating Authority - Leased Vehicles

If a vehicle is not owned or registered in the name of the holder of the intrastate operating authority certificate or permit, a lease agreement must be executed between the lessor (vehicle owner) and lessee (holder of the operating authority certificate/permit) for the vehicle to be used in the operation of the business.

A copy of the lease agreement must be carried in the vehicle at all times.

For the lease to be valid, the company holding the operating authority certificate or permit must insure the vehicle under the company's fleet coverage policy and maintain operational control of the vehicle to include advertising and contracting activities.
