You just got your MC number. Now what? Brokers won't book you (no track record), insurance is expensive (no history), and the load boards look intimidating. We dispatch new-authority owner-operators specifically — and we know the brokers who actually take new MCs.
The friction CDL drivers thinking about going independent hit every single week.
We have broker relationships specifically with carriers who take new MCs. Most of our new-authority drivers run their first load within 5-7 days of authority activation.
Driver qualification file, HOS records, drug-and-alcohol consortium paperwork — we build your audit package as you run loads, not in a panic at month 11.
BOC-3, BMC-91, NOA, COI, W-9, MCS-150, IRP — we coordinate every filing in the right order. No retroactive penalties.
Your dispatcher walks you through your first 10 loads — what to negotiate, what to refuse, what brokers to avoid. By load 20 you know the game.
Month 1: Authority activates. We onboard you in 24 hours and start booking. Expect lower-than-average rates initially — brokers price you carefully until you have a track record. Focus on building broker relationships, hitting every appointment, getting clean delivery records.
Months 2-5: Track record builds. Brokers who treated you cautiously start offering better rates. We layer in higher-paying lanes as your performance data accumulates. Most new-authority drivers see RPM climb 10-15% over this period.
Months 6-12: New Entrant Safety Audit happens somewhere in this window. We pre-prep your audit package — driver qualification file, HOS logs, drug-and-alcohol records, MCS-150 update, vehicle inspection reports. Drivers we've prepped have a 98%+ pass rate (and we sit with you on the rare follow-up). Once you pass the audit, your authority is permanent.
After year one, your insurance drops noticeably (10-25% typical), brokers no longer flag you as new, and your RPM stabilizes at experienced-driver levels. This is the hard year. We dispatch through it with you specifically because most dispatch services don't want new MCs.
Same transparent pricing every driver sees on the public page. From 8% on dry van up to 12% on box truck — see the full rate card for every equipment type.
If you have your own authority and equipment, our owner-operator program is the right fit.
