Who it’s for

SOMEONE GETTING AUTHORITY FOR THE FIRST TIME

This is a reading order for the filings and the first broker setups. It does not file anything for you.

NEW AUTHORITY

You want the sequence: entity, MC authority, the BOC-3 process agent, insurance, UCR, IFTA, permits, and the drug and alcohol program.

FIRST LOADS

The later chapters cover the truck, broker setup, the first loads, billing, and a compliance chapter you can come back to.

NOT THIS

If you want a fill-in business plan, that is the Authority Approval Pack. This book explains the steps. It does not write the plan.
