You got your authority.
Year one is where it gets taken back.
Getting authorized is the hard part — and you’ve done it. What trips up new carriers next isn’t the freight; it’s the wait to get paid and the filings nobody warned you about. Enter your DOT and I’ll map every deadline and dollar coming at you for the next 12 months. Free, no pitch.
It’s almost never the driving.
You deliver today. The money shows up in 45 days.
Brokers pay in 30, 45, sometimes 60 days. But fuel is today. Insurance is today. The truck note is today. Most new carriers run dry before that first check ever clears.
One filing you didn’t know about parks the truck.
UCR. BOC-3. IFTA. Your new-entrant safety audit inside the first 12 months. Miss one and you’re looking at fines — or an out-of-service order that stops you cold.
Nobody hands you the map for this. So I built you one.
Every deadline and dollar, pulled from your DOT.
Type your USDOT number. I read your authority date straight from FMCSA and lay out what’s due and what it costs across your first year — MCS-150, UCR, the 2290, your IFTA quarters, your new-entrant audit window. No email. No call unless you ask.
That part, I handle. And it still costs you nothing.
Factoring so you get paid the day you deliver instead of waiting 45. Insurance you can actually afford. The new-entrant audit. ELD setup. Fifteen years in this business taught me who’s good and who buries you in fine print. I make one introduction to the right people — they pay me a referral fee. You never get a bill from me.
And if something isn’t a fit for you, I’ll say so. That’s the whole reason I don’t work for any one company.
The day your authority went active, your phone started ringing. I’m not one of those calls.
I’m Max, out of Chicago. I’ve spent 15 years in trucking — as a dispatcher and a manager — so I know the pains people in this business actually have. I’ve watched sharp new carriers park the truck inside their first year. Not because they couldn’t drive or find loads, but because they ran out of cash waiting 30–45 days on broker checks, or got buried in paperwork nobody warned them about. That’s the part I help with.
