Dispatch for new MC authoritiesYour first loads under your own authority

New authority is the hardest stage of owning a trucking business. Many brokers won't load a brand-new carrier, setup packets pile up, and every empty day costs money. Rich Hauler helps new authorities get loaded and build a track record.

Rich Hauler dispatches carriers with brand-new authority. We find brokers that accept new carriers, complete your setup packets, and book your first loads, for 5% per load on semi trucks and 10% on non-semi trucks.

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

  1. Your authority shows active, and your insurance and BOC-3 filings are on record with FMCSA
  2. Your UCR registration is paid for the current year
  3. You are enrolled in a drug and alcohol testing program and registered in the Clearinghouse
  4. Your ELD is installed and working
  5. 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.

Questions about dispatch for new authorities

Will brokers work with a brand-new authority?

Some will and some won't. Many brokers set a minimum authority age, so we focus on brokers and shippers who accept new carriers and grow your options as your authority ages.

How much does dispatch cost for a new authority?

The same as for any carrier: 5% of each load's gross for semi trucks and 10% for non-semi trucks, with no contract.

Can you help me get my authority first?

Yes. Our MC authority setup service is $250, plus government filing fees, and covers the filings needed to get your authority active.

What is the new entrant safety audit?

New interstate carriers go through an FMCSA safety audit during their first months of operation. It reviews records like driver files, hours of service and drug testing, so it pays to stay organized from day one.
