How It Works
From sign-up to first load in 5 steps
Tell Us Where You Are
Already hauling? Have a business but no authority? Starting from scratch? We'll recommend the right package for your situation.
We Handle the Paperwork
Authority filing, insurance setup, compliance programs, business formation — whatever you need, we do the legwork.
21-Day Waiting Period
While FMCSA processes your authority (Standard/Premium), we use this time to set up insurance, compliance, and drug testing. Free tier skips this step.
Authority Goes Active
Once your MC is active, we build your carrier packet, send it to 500+ brokers, assign your dedicated dispatcher, and book your first load.
Start Hauling
First load within 24-48 hours of activation. Plus 30 days of daily check-in calls (Standard/Premium).
