If you're getting ready to start your trucking business, one of the biggest questions is: 👉 “How much does it really cost to get my MC/DOT?” Here’s a simple breakdown so you know exactly what to expect: 💰 Required Costs: - MC/DOT (FMCSA Filing Fee): $300 - BOC-3 Filing: $75 🩺 Additional Requirements: - DOT Medical Exam: $50 – $100 - DOT Vehicle Inspection: $100 – $200 📊 Estimated Total to Get Started:👉 Around $525 – $675 (depending on where you go for exams/inspection) ⚠️ Important to Know: - These are mandatory costs — no way around them - Prices can vary slightly by provider/location - This does NOT include insurance (which is a separate requirement to activate your MC) 💡 Pro Tip: While you’re waiting for your MC to become active (usually 7–10 days), you can still start making money by working with carriers that don’t require your authority yet 👀 ✅ If you want help: My office can handle the full setup for you AND help you start making money immediately while everything processes.

I am new to this industry and would like more information on how to be a dispatcher for cargo van and box truck drivers

Most new cargo van & box truck owners start on apps like: Amazon Flex, Roadie, GoShare, Curri BUT here’s the truth 👇 These apps usually pay the lowest rates because you’re competing with tons of drivers So here’s the question: 👉 Would you rather: A) Stay on apps (quick start, lower pay) B) Get your own MC/DOT & run your own loads (higher pay, more control) C) Start with carriers that do not require an MC/DOT Drop A,B or C below 👇

Let’s be honest… What’s the worst broker experience you’ve had? Late pay? Rate cutting? Detention issues? (No need to hold back 😅)
