We are a new authority with a 16' box truck that is paid for. Due to being MC and having a box truck, we realize that it is very hard to get loads without at least a 26' with a lift gate. We would like to rent a truck temporarily, but want to remain under our own authority. How does that work through the DOT?

Why would you go through the Dot to rent a truck?
First clear the use of the rental with the company you rent from, then just get magnetic signs made with your name and numbers on it, put them on the door, have your paperwork with you like cargo insurance and make sure your driver has a class b if it is over 26k.
