Carrier onboarding

Carry freight with a desk that pays what it confirms

We onboard carriers with current authority and insurance, then put real lanes in front of you. One dispatch contact, documented rate confirmations and Net 30 from POD. No load is tendered until the certificate of insurance is on file and verified.

Start your application

Company record now; we email a private portal link to upload COI, W-9 and the signed agreement. Onboarding completes when the current certificate of insurance is verified.

How onboarding works

  2. Upload the documentsWe email a private portal link for COI, W-9 and the signed carrier agreement — documents are stored privately, never published.
  3. Dispatch reviewAuthority, insurance limits and expiry, safety/CSA and agreement are checked before approval.
  4. Load offersApproved carriers receive lane, rate and pickup-window offers by email. The rate confirmation names every accessorial.
  5. SettlementNet 30 from POD. No quick pay; remittance details are released to a verified contact after a callback.
