Your Complete
Trucking Setup Guide

We walk you through every filing, every registration, and every requirement you need to legally operate your own trucking company.

01
๐Ÿข
Foundation

Form Your LLC

Setting up a Limited Liability Company is the first step to protecting yourself and your assets. We file with your state, get your EIN from the IRS, and set up your operating agreement so you're official from day one.

02
๐Ÿš›
FMCSA

FMCSA Authority & DOT#

You need a USDOT number and operating authority (MC#) through the FMCSA portal before you can legally haul freight. We handle the application, the process agent filings (BOC-3), and follow up until your authority is active.

03
๐Ÿ“‹
UCR

UCR Registration

Unified Carrier Registration is required annually for any carrier operating across state lines. We register you every year so you stay compliant and keep your authority in good standing โ€” no fines, no shutdowns.

04
๐Ÿ’ฐ
IRS / Tax

Form 2290 โ€” Heavy Highway Tax

If your truck weighs 55,000 lbs or more, the IRS requires you to file Form 2290 and pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). We file it for you and get your stamped Schedule 1 โ€” required to register your plates.

05
๐Ÿ”
Drug & Alcohol

Clearinghouse Registration

The FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is mandatory for all CDL drivers and employers. We get you registered, set up your annual query plan, and make sure you're fully compliant with federal regulations.

06
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ
Insurance

Trucking Insurance

Federal law requires minimum liability coverage before your authority activates. We connect you with the right carriers for primary liability, cargo, physical damage, and occupational accident coverage tailored to owner-operators.

07
๐Ÿ“„
Compliance

IFTA & IRP Registration

If you run multiple states, you need International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and International Registration Plan (IRP) credentials. We file both so you can legally operate across all 48 states without penalties.

08
๐Ÿ“ฑ
Technology

ELD & Dispatch Setup

Federal ELD mandates require a registered electronic logging device. We help you choose and set up the right ELD for your operation, plus advise on load boards and dispatch tools to keep your truck moving and profitable.

09
๐Ÿฆ
Business

Business Banking & Factoring

Open a dedicated business bank account for your LLC, and learn how freight factoring works so you get paid fast โ€” no more waiting 30-90 days on broker invoices. Cash flow is king when you're running your own truck.
