Before anything else your business needs a legal foundation. We help you choose a company name, file your business entity with your state, and obtain your Employer Identification Number from the IRS. You pay only the required state filing fees and we guide you through every form.
Once your business is formed we help you obtain your USDOT Number and MC Operating Authority through the FMCSA. We complete and submit the MCSA application with you, file your BOC3 process agent designation, and register you for the Unified Carrier Registration. After submission there is a mandatory government review period before your authority becomes active.
While your authority is being processed there is a lot to get in order. We guide you through obtaining your commercial trucking insurance, enrolling in a drug and alcohol testing consortium, getting your CDL if you have not already, filing your Form 2290 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, setting up your IFTA fuel tax account, registering for apportioned IRP plates, and obtaining any state specific permits required for your operating area.
With your authority active and compliance in order it is time to get moving. If you need a truck we can help guide you on where and how to get one. We will show you how to find and book loads using load boards, how to get set up with an Electronic Logging Device, and how factoring works so you get paid for your loads without waiting on brokers. We are also here for ongoing support and guidance as you grow your business.
