Serious Question Regarding Getting Into Expediting!

[HondaGuy2020]

So I'm looking into getting into expediting and yes I am serious about it; my passion is road tripping! I have several questions:
1) if I am hired by a company/ fleet owner, to deliver their freight in THEIR van, do I need any type of licenses? MC numbers or DOT/USDOT number?
2) if I finance my own van and obviously get the required insurance (usually $1mill liability and $100k cargo), and if I lease onto a carrier (where I deliver their freight In MY OWN van), do I need any MC / DOT / USDOT numbers? This has been bothering me as many expeditors on YouTube have been giving either different answers or dont clearly answer this question. Thanks for the help!

MC numbers no, CDL depends on what the carrier requires

MC and DOT numbers are basically carrier authority to operate as a carrier. If you drive for a carrier or fleet owner, or lease your vehicle to a carrier, that them, not you, so you don't have to have any of those numbers.
