As I understand your DOT VIOLATION IS IN CLEARINGHOUSE, INSURANCE COMPANIES DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT, NOR SHIPPERS, RECEIVERS, OR BROKERS! KEEP IT THAT WAY.I GOT A DURTY TEST DUE CBD, I HAD NO IDEA. ANY I BOUGHT A TRUCK, THE FINANCE CO DIDN'T ASK, INSURANCE CO DIDN'T ASK. ONCE YOU GET YOUR ON AUTHORITY NO ONE ASK.

Yes you can be an owner operator but you definitely don’t have to tell your insurance or shippers or receivers. It’s between the employer and you that’s it.

Becoming an Owner Operator after the SAP program by: Hervy
Short answer, yes.
Questions are ....
Are you planning to lease on or get your own authority?
If you are leasing on, call the leasing companies you intend to lease on with and check if they will allow you with that history.
If you are getting your own authority see if the shippers and receivers will have a problem with it.
See if you are able to get loads from brokers and load boards with it.
See how much your insurance will be with that history.
Determine if the pay you can reasonably expect to earn will cover insurance cost. (I don't know how much insurance will go up because of this or if it will, I am saying you need to find out,)
So can you become an O/O? Yes.
Will it create obstacles in some way, I am sure it will. These things do.
Does that mean to allow yourself to be discourage and not investigate further by contacting directly the parties that would be involved in what you seek to do? That would be a mistake.
I am pretty sure a determined and enthusiastic person can find the pathway to successfully achieve your goals. You just have to make yourself that person. I think you are that person because you have already begun the journey.
