Insurance for new trucking authority.
Getting your own authority means filings, an insurance effective date, and a set of coverages you may never have carried before. We help new carriers get insured and filed so the authority actually activates.

Insurance and filings go together
A new motor carrier generally needs primary liability and motor truck cargo, plus the federal financial-responsibility filing the FMCSA requires before the authority activates. The insurance and the filing are linked, and the effective date and BOC-3 process-agent status all have to line up. We help coordinate it.
What new carriers pay for
New authority is generally the most expensive stage, because there is no safety or loss history yet. Building a clean record, choosing realistic radius and commodity, and getting the program structured right from the start sets up better renewals. We are honest about what the first year looks like.
Getting active the right way
The goal is an authority that activates on time with the right coverage, not just the cheapest policy that may not match your operation or contracts. We line up the coverage, the filing, and the timing so you can start hauling. This is general guidance, not legal or FMCSA advice; verify requirements with the FMCSA.
