    Hello everyone!
    I'm considering getting my own MC (so tired of working for careless companies) and I know a lot of stories that Brokers just DON'T work with MC who is less than 90 days old.
    PLEASE share your experience and which Brokers work with a brand new MC? (Flatbed trailer)
    Thank you in Advance!!!
    Stay Safe on a road!
     
    Vampire Thanks this.

    Well, whether they do or they don’t- in 90 days they’ll work with you. So if that’s the only hurdle you gotta jump, there’s that.

    I’m in the same boat lady. I’vea lowboy and a paid for truck. Hardest thing to load for a new entrant. Nobody wants to trust the new guy. And they ALL want 1 million plus in insurance for ######## loads. A load of drywall is worth about 75K…. And they want millions in insurance for everything.

    It's not a douchebag move.
    Why would Mr. Broker want to give a hot load to a new mc when there's countless other trucks available, many with a solid track record?

    Starting a new mc is always a challenge, doing it in a terrible freight market would be setting yourself up for a really difficult time.

    Maybe consider the horrible state of the market prior to getting own mc.
