Authority and setup review
We look at your USDOT and operating authority, insurance, and carrier paperwork so we know what brokers will ask for before we start.

New MC Authority
The first loads are the hardest. That is where dispatch helps most.
A new authority has no history with brokers, and many brokers set their own requirements for authority age, insurance, and carrier setup. That can limit which loads are available at first, and it varies from broker to broker.
We do not promise that will not happen. What we do is review your authority and paperwork, point you to brokers and load types that are realistic for a newer carrier, and handle the setup and paperwork so you spend less time on hold.
How we work with a new authority
Realistic expectations
We tell you plainly what is likely to be available to a newer authority and what may have to wait, instead of promising rates or loads.
Broker setup and paperwork
Carrier packets, W-9, certificate of insurance, and broker onboarding forms are organized and sent so setup does not stall a load.
Load search, negotiation, and closeout
We search loads that fit your equipment and lanes, negotiate within your minimum, and handle rate confirmations, BOL and POD handoff, and invoice preparation.
What we review before onboarding
- Active USDOT number and operating authority, when required for the freight you haul
- Current certificate of insurance that meets broker requirements
- Completed W-9 and carrier payment details
- Signed carrier-dispatch agreement and limited authorization
- Equipment type, preferred lanes, and your minimum rate
Our fee in dollars
Your first successfully booked and dispatched load has no dispatch fee. After that, the fee is 5% of the carrier pay shown on the signed rate confirmation.
Example: on a later load showing $2,500 in total carrier pay, the dispatch fee is $125. We do not take possession of your freight revenue. The broker or factoring company pays you directly.

Common questions
New Authority
questions.
Do you give me an MC number or authority?
No. Truck Peak is an independent dispatch service, not a motor carrier or broker. You operate under your own authority, and we act as an authorized agent for contracted carriers.
Can a brand-new authority get loads?
Often yes, but some brokers set minimum authority age or other requirements, and that can limit options early on. We review each operation and set realistic expectations before onboarding.
How do I get operating authority?
Registration and authority are handled through FMCSA. FMCSA's own guidance says processing takes several weeks, and insurance and other filings are part of the process. Check FMCSA directly for current steps and fees.
What does it cost?
Your first successfully booked and dispatched load has no dispatch fee. After that, the fee is 5% of gross booked freight for each load we book and dispatch.
Do you guarantee loads, rates, or revenue?
No. Freight availability and rates change with equipment, lane, timing, season, and broker requirements. We do not guarantee a specific result.
