Starting from zero? We walk you through LLC and EIN, MC/DOT registration, BOC-3, insurance quotes and your first carrier packets — in the right order, without the runaround.
Starting a trucking company means a dozen registrations that all depend on each other, a maze of government sites, and “processing agents” charging hundreds for forms that cost far less. Get one step out of order and you wait weeks.
RapidWay Freight has set up carriers many times over. We walk you through each step in the sequence that actually works — LLC and EIN, USDOT and MC numbers, BOC-3, UCR, insurance quotes, IFTA and IRP — then hand you your first broker packets so the day your authority goes active, you’re ready to haul.
Add it to dispatch or use it on its own. Either way, one named person at RapidWay owns it for you.
Business entity and tax ID set up correctly so your authority, insurance and bank account all match.
Operating authority filed right the first time, with your process agent designation in place.
We get quotes from carriers that understand new authorities, at the coverage levels brokers require.
UCR, IFTA, IRP and your first broker setups completed so your first week isn’t spent on paperwork.
A checklist that tells you what’s next and what it costs before you pay.
Government fees are what they are; you pay us for the guidance, not inflated forms.
Roll straight into dispatch or lease-on the day your authority is active.
What you want to haul, where, and with what — we map the registrations you actually need.
Each registration prepared and submitted in order, with you signing off along the way.
Insurance bound, packets sent, dispatcher assigned. You’re a trucking company.
Tell us where you’re starting from. A setup specialist calls you back within the hour, Mon–Fri, with your checklist.
We’ll help you earn more and stress less.
Typically three to four weeks from filing to active authority, mostly waiting on FMCSA. We keep the rest moving in parallel so nothing else holds you up.
Government and insurance fees are paid at cost. Our guidance is a flat fee — ask for the current number, there are no surprise add-ons.
Not legally, but most carriers form one to separate business and personal liability and to make insurance and banking simpler. We’ll explain the trade-offs.
We’re not an insurance agency, but we connect you with agents who work with new authorities and make sure the coverage meets what brokers require.
Most carriers move straight into our dispatch or lease-on service so the first weeks are spent hauling, not learning the load boards.
