3)helps you find a load sometimes when your stuck
4)takes care of the back and forth faxing of ins packets etc
5)100% fsc and all asc pay
you include
1) your own tag
2) your own trailer
3) your own insurance dn pymt apr $1200.00 must be in carrier name per Dot regs
4) ins pymt apr $460.00 per mth(liab,cargo,)

What you dont have to worry about.
1) paper work-you send it in
2) broker packets-carrier takes care of it
3) billing

All you have to do is find the loads and run them

We were basically just looking for your name and numbers on the door, your mill. liability and cargo policies, I guess since it's your authority you would have to do fuel tax filing too. We'd pay physical damage, bobtail, plates, bring our own truck & trailer, and find own loads (unless you had some dedicated brokers
). I imagine we'd be looking to give up in the 5-10% range. Any more than that and we'd probably be better off just getting our own authority.

I use Adobe PDF when I need to setup with a broker away from home. I have an online fax service that converts the fax to PDF or I have the broker email it to me in PDF. I then use the typewriter feature to fill in the contract. I then use the the "pencil tool" to sign my signature (it looks like crap but it works). I then save the signature page as a .Tiff (picture file) then convert it back to PDF and add the signed page back to the contract in PDF. I have to convert it to and image file in order to save the signature, for some reason it wont fax the signature i made with the pencil tool. I am sure there is an easier way but I am an too lazy to figure it out
I also do the same with rate confirmations. Sign it - save as image - convert image back to PDF - fax or email the signed confirmation.
The drawback is if your in a truck stop or other area that does not have wifi. I am considering get mobile internet through att or other company that will give you internet access anywhere (i think its pretty expensive).
