Our Trucking Consulting Services

Establish the Business Entity

The first step of starting your trucking business is to establish its entity. You can start your business as an LLC (Limited Liability Company), LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), or Inc. (Incorporated). Our trucking consultant helps you to choose the best business structure that suits your goals. We also help determine your business name and set up an EIN (Employer Identification Number) with the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). Your EIN distinguishes your business from the competitors. It’s also a requirement for opening a business bank account to manage your finances. We also help you meet other business registration requirements.

Authority Filings & Permits

While starting a new trucking business, you’re required to acquire permits from local and federal authorities. The number and nature of permits depend on your area of operation and the type of freight you want to haul. Some important licenses and permits you may need to acquire include a USDOT (United States Department of Transportation) Number and a BOC-3 filing. We guide and help you to get all required permits so your new trucking business can be registered and compliant with the proper authorities.
If you intend to haul federally administrated and regulated goods through inter-state lanes, you must acquire the MC (Motor Carrier) Operating Authority as it’s a legal requirement. Our trucking consultants will guide you through the Motor Carrier Authority filings and prepare the necessary paperwork for it.

Trucking Insurance

Trucking insurance is not only a legal requirement but acts as a savior for your trucking business. It protects you, your business, and the cargo you’re hauling from potential damages, financial losses, and third-party liabilities. You must carry the minimum required truck insurance to run your business operations. The good news is that The Trucking Hero partners with the most trusted trucking insurance companies to offer you the most affordable insurance quote.

You can choose different types of trucking insurance depending on your coverage needs, including:

Cargo coverage

Cargo insurance covers the damage or theft of cargo you’re hauling.

Auto Liability Coverage

Liability coverage protects you against third-party claims regarding a bodily injury or property damage when you're at fault. It’s a mandatory trucking coverage that is needed to get your MC/DOT authority activated.

Physical Damage

This coverage reimburses you to repair or replace your trucking equipment if it sustains damage due to covered incidents like vandalism, collision with other vehicles, theft, or natural disasters.

Besides these coverages, you may also include General Liability coverage, Rental reimbursement, and Trailer interchange coverage in your insurance policy. For more details about trucking insurance and to get your “Insurance Quote,” please fill out the below form.

Fuel Cards & Factoring

Fuel cards help you control, manage, and track your fuel expenditures while factoring ensures a steady cash flow into your business. The Trucking Hero partners with industry leading trucking providers to offer you fuel cards and factoring services at discounted rates.

Equipment Financing

To start your business operations, you must acquire the necessary trucking equipment, such as trucks and trailers. If you have enough cash saved up to purchase equipment, that is great! However, that is not the case for all trucking businesses – that is where equipment financing can help! The type of equipment you need depends on the cargo you intend to haul. Many lenders can lend you money to buy equipment, but most of them require your business to be active for at least 2 years before they will look at your application. That is not the case for us – we can work with your brand new or established trucking company right away. No prior business credit needed! Whether you want to purchase old or new equipment, arranging financing is our responsibility.
