What ships in the kit

Eight modules. One launch, one renewal pit crew.

Every module is conditioned on your state, equipment, lane, and authority type — not a generic SaaS template.

Roadmap

A state-specific launch sequence, not a checklist

Texas intrastate-only first? A different order than multi-state MC. The roadmap is rebuilt from your home state, what you’ll haul, and how far — every step has a reason and a deadline.

Licensing

Federal authority + state permits, side by side

USDOT numbers, MC authority windows, IRP apportionment, IFTA credentials, state DOT permits, intrastate-only rules — all mapped to your operating radius so you don’t file the wrong form in the wrong state.

Capital

A startup-cost calculator that knows the industry

Insurance tier (primary vs. bobtail vs. non-trucking), trailer payment vs. lease, plate prorate, fuel tax reserves — line-itemed against your lane plan, not generic SaaS categories.

Plan

A business plan an underwriter will actually read

AI drafts to your facts — state, equipment, lane, model — and follows the structure banks and surety providers expect from a carrier file, not a generic 30-page template.

Pricing

A per-mile profit model with your real numbers

Loaded vs. deadhead miles, fuel per mile by region, insurance per mile, baseplate by state — modeled weekly, exported to CSV, ready to hand to factoring partners.

Funding

A funding-readiness scorecard

SBA, traditional bank, equipment lender, or factoring line — each one wants different paperwork. The scorecard shows gaps before you walk in the door.

Branding

A starter site and a basic kit

Authority presence: a single-page site, a logo, a USDOT-compliant paint spec sheet you can hand to a wrap shop — so you’re bookable the day your MC goes active.

Copilot

An AI assistant trained on YOUR business type and home state

Ask a renewal-timing question in plain English and get a real answer grounded in your filings — not a generic chatbot. Same copilot handles contract and invoice drafts, so the subscription pulls weight past the LLC filing.

From intake to authority

Four steps, in the order your state and your carrier class actually require.

  1. Tell us the operation

    A 7-question intake: state, equipment, lane, cargo, target carrier type (OTR, regional, intrastate, owner-operator), and current filings.

  2. Get a custom launch package

    Roadmap, licensing checklist, cost calculator, business-plan draft, and brand kit — all conditioned on step 1.

  3. File with confidence

    Forms pre-filled from your intake, deadlines surfaced in order, a renewal calendar that outlasts the launch.

  4. Keep the copilot

    A monthly subscription keeps the assistant, the compliance updates, and the renewal reminders active — turning one filing day into a durable line of business.

State-keyword intelligence

Built on the licensing reality of one county — your county — not the average.

The intake captures seven facts. From that point on, every roadmap, filing step, calculator, and business-plan paragraph branches on your state, your authority class, and your equipment. A Class A carrier in Laredo gets a different sequence than an intrastate-only owner-operator in Lubbock — even though both live in Texas.

  • Federal layer (USDOT, MC, BOC-3) anchored to your operating radius
  • State layer (intrastate permits, IRP, IFTA) gated on home base
  • Local layer (city business license, terminal agreements) surfaced only when it applies

New — public-facing lookup

Look up your state. USDOT, MC, IFTA, IRP, BOC-3, UCR, CDL, and surety-bond requirements — all in one place, citations on every entry.

Verified FMCSA + state DOT data for TX, GA, FL, CA, IL, PA — preliminary for the other 44.
