    i have my authority that i was running from 2011 to 2018 , in 2018 i never renewed insurance and was running other authority with my partner , mid 2024 i reactivated my authority and planned to run mine again.
    i did not work for bit over a year but my authority was active (min liability to keep it active) , hoping to age the company so i am not new entrant by the time i decide to come back . i got 2 good accounts at the moment but i need to book back haul through load board . having a problem with brokers denying me like a scam because i did not have any inspections from mid 2024 ...they dont explain much but 2 of them mention it as well as our safety department cant approve you ...one broker emailed : you are not a carrier , no trucks listed , no insurance , no eld and no inspections...only last 2 true ...any suggestions?

    Get an inspection, or make phone calls to shippers in that area and get your own backhaul.

    call a couple of local companies to that area, they might have a brokerage side for some of their extra stuff, or talk to your customers to see if they need anything coming back from that area and do it through them

    I don’t do scales or eld so I probably wouldn’t be able to get anything off a board either at this point in time
     
    Cleduskenworth Thanks this.
