Which brokers will set you up
Authority-age gates and insurance minimums copied from public carrier-setup pages. FMCSA says who is licensed; this overlay says what they asked for. Observed 27 Aug 2026 — confirm with the broker.
Licensed brokers live on TruckCodex USDOT pages; this directory is only brokers whose setup rules we recorded (or a public setup/website link). Missing from this list does not mean unlicensed.
783 linked to an FMCSA USDOT · 2,908 listed without a USDOT (name/email only — not dropped).
How old your MC must be to set up
These are gates copied from setup pages — confirm with the broker.
Major brokers in this overlay — not a ranking. Broker-published days when we have them; otherwise a setup or website link. Third-party age claims are marked unverified. Confirm with the broker.
Many brokers will not onboard a carrier until FMCSA operating authority has been active for a set number of days. We copy that number only when a page stated it.
Does Unknown mean they accept new authority?
No. Unknown means we could not find the rule. A0 means we read a published list with no age line. Third-party “day 1” blogs are labeled unverified and stay off the new-authority slice.
Is every licensed broker here?
FMCSA already lists who is licensed. It publishes no setup gates. This overlay is that missing field — thousands of public RMIS/Wayback pages — not a coverage ratio against the census.
Are these numbers live?
No. Recorded 27 Aug 2026. Confirm with the broker. Setup links are dated and marked nofollow.
