Why new authorities struggle to get loads
Many brokers set a minimum authority age before they will work with a carrier, and some also look for safety history or a certain number of inspections. That leaves new carriers with fewer options and more pressure to accept low rates.
How we help
- Target brokers and shippers that accept new authorities
- Prepare and send carrier setup packets so you are approved quickly
- Book loads that build clean history: on-time pickups and deliveries, no claims
- Widen your broker list month by month as your authority ages
- Help you set up factoring so cash keeps moving while you wait on payments
Before your first load, check these
- Your authority shows active, and your insurance and BOC-3 filings are on record with FMCSA
- Your UCR registration is paid for the current year
- You are enrolled in a drug and alcohol testing program and registered in the Clearinghouse
- Your ELD is installed and working
- Your IFTA and IRP are in place if you run interstate and need them
Our guide to your first 90 days with new authority covers each step, including preparing for the new entrant safety audit.
