Starting a trucking company in 2025? The first challenge is clear: getting loads with a new MC. Most brokers require 90+ days of authority, a spotless safety record, and carrier references. But how do you build that when you’ve just launched?
The truth is, new authority ≠ no opportunity — if you know where to look and how to approach it.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
Which brokers actually work with new carriers
How to build credibility fast
The exact steps to start moving freight within your first 30 days
🔟 Section 1: The Real Problem — Why Brokers Avoid New Authorities
Most brokers use risk tools (like RMIS, MyCarrierPackets, and SaferWatch) that filter out new MCs automatically.
Reasons they hesitate:
No safety history or insurance proof
Fraud risk due to increasing scam carriers
Lack of customer references
Unverified ELD & compliance systems
💡 Pro Tip: You need to package your business like a pro, even if you just launched yesterday. We’ll show you how.
✅ Section 2: Brokers & Platforms That DO Work with New MCs
Here’s where to start when you have less than 90 days authority:
Broker / Platform | How to Apply | Tips |
TQL | RMIS Packet | Confirm insurance & call after submitting |
C.H. Robinson | Navisphere onboarding | May require 30+ days but negotiable |
Coyote Logistics | CoyoteGO portal | Accepts new MCs with good insurance |
BNSF Logistics | Direct contact | Focuses on dry van & flatbed |
Echo Global Logistics | Onboarding via EchoTrak | Often accepts under 30-day MCs |
DAT Load Board | Self-service | Filter loads by “no minimum days” |
TruckStop Load Board | Self-service | Use broker rating filters |
NextLOAD | Free & simple | Many brokers don’t filter by MC age |
Direct Shipper Outreach | Cold email or in-person | Local shippers care more about reliability than MC age |
Dispatch Partner | Subcontract loads | Partner with a trusted dispatcher who has broker relationships |

🧠 Section 3: How to Build Broker Trust with a New MC
Even if they say “No new MCs,” you can often flip it to a “Yes” by showing:
Your COI (Certificate of Insurance) up front
Company summary + intro email (explain who you are)
Your MC#, EIN, and W-9 clearly attached
Proof of ELD registration, dispatcher, or TMS (professionalism matters)
📈 Section 4: Tips to Start Moving Loads Within 30 Days
Focus on same-day and next-day loads — brokers are more flexible when desperate
Offer power-only, hotshot, or box truck services
Run night/weekend shifts to build broker favor
Use co-brokering through dispatchers to earn references
Ask every broker for a review or rating after 3 loads completed
