How do I get my own authority?

Go to FMCSA website, complete form, enter credit card number for $300 payment, wait a few weeks, get insurance posted, get process agent, authority granted, you're now on the road to untold wealth and riches.

Do you have a drug program in place?
Do you have an insurance carrier?
Money to tag/plate your cash truck?

 

If you own a cash truck, you don't need your own authority. Just park it behind the house and grab some cash out of it as needed. I would put an alarm on it, though.

 

Cash Truck and a Cash House..........

 

I dont want to be rude.....But its low-knowledged guys that come over here with 'cash truck' and destroy the market even further........No bills+Low knowledge= a brokers dream come true.

If your English is good enough to secure your own freight. Id say work with customers and leave the broker costodial freight boards alone. If Not, Go lease onto a container pool cartage company.You'll make some money

We independents are having a hard time without the help of the wind-up alarm clocks

 

You need authority, permits, insurance. Go to FMCSA website and start applying, grab all the permits, look for insurance, drug testing, activate and get a load board DAT and ITS or just one for starters, and start rolling. Also if you want to wait for brokers to pay use direct billing, if not, get favoring or quick pay %. Yes you need a trailer but there are PO loads, however good luck being a new company and just getting PO good paying loads. Anyways best of luck Gucci Mane!
