Unless the paperwork is right (signed lease agreement meeting the requirements of 49 CFR 276.12, complete driver qualification file, and actual proof that you are covered by his insurance by a certificate of insurance from his broker that lists your VIN), I hope this is not a case where you are driving for a friend with only a handshake to show for it. If your situation is informal at all, it may be placing you at great personal risk should you be involved in an accident.

If you want to lease with a solid Houston company with a great independent contractor program, send me a PM and I'll get you connected. We have a ton of freight and just closed another huge deal last week. We are one of the best trucking companies in Texas.
