Starting up or making organizational changes to a company that uses trucks is a process without a road map with lots of stops along the way. Company structure, residency, type of operation, area of operation, commodities hauled, size of trucks, weights of trucks, and record keeping requirements are all areas that need to be addressed. The process can include working through several Federal agencies, multiple State agencies, abiding with Plans, Agreements and Regulations with a mandated audit by the DOT waiting for you to make sure you have it all correct.
Using Glostone's New Entrant Startup Solutions, you have just one stop and we do all of the rest, including ELDs. We know what needs to be done for your operation and can get done quickly. We even have programs available to help you through your audit.
To legally perform as an interstate, “for hire” trucking business, Broker or Freight Forwarder, you must first obtain Federal Authority. Our service cuts through the red tape so that your Authority is granted quickly and accurately.
