    Im not jumping in neck deep. Ive been researching this before as well. This is my only post on this forum. I guess this is part of the research that i needed. However, I appreciate your criticism, it keeps me grounded and know i still have a lot to learn.

    Excellent!!! Yes!!! You have to fill it up , however that is the easy part.
    In my case , to make it easier for me , I have my insurance, Mc certificate, W9 in a file , so I can send it to them ASAP while I’m filling out the registration papers .
    Now , in most cases , Brokers have your info electronically pre fill.
    I also have my lap top and my hot spot in my truck .

    Hopefully you realize that some people here are sarcastic , son do not take seriously.
    It will be nice if people here also realized that DZTRICK needs real and serious advice and leave your sarcasm for another moment.

    Nice.
    Make sure to check their records ( brokers) before you sign a rate confirmation.

    hey a technical question, do you guys use any good apps for signing rate confirmations and taking pictures of bols to send to brokers? i know most take a iphone pic, but sometimes they dont come out legible.

    I think the broker's packets would probably have an esign in it already you just follow it in the email like docu sign or other ones.
    Tiny scanner is an app that can make a picture as a pdf file, it costs a few bucks i think
    I use iphone for transflow mobile with my carrier, works pretty good, or wait for the sun to come out to get it clearer picture.
