This free PDF walks you through every document to gather, the federal minimums by operation type, and the exact 5-day path from quote to ACTIVE authority.

What’s in the filing pack
FMCSA insurance minimums by operation type (general freight, household goods, hazmat, passenger, private). 30-minute Day-1 document checklist (DOT, MC, MCS-150, UCR, 2290, BOC-3, EIN, vehicle VINs, driver CDLs). The 5-day path: shop 15+ commercial trucking carriers (Progressive, National Indemnity, Berkshire Hathaway, Northland, Great West, Acuity, GAINSCO, plus E&S markets), bind, e-file BMC-91X, FMCSA flips you ACTIVE. Typical California pricing for owner-operators ($13K-$22K first year). 5 rookie mistakes to avoid (filing without binding, lying about radius, forgetting BOC-3, using personal auto, skipping cargo).
