How the company is created
In the process of formation of a transport company, it is very important to follow all the steps based on the requirements of the General Corporate Code, which include the following:
- Choosing the company name and checking the company name
- Based on the business model and structure, select the type of company: SP, FP, LLP, or LLC
- Application for filing and the procedure for filing a certificate of registration
- Selection of an agent for registration, formation of the company’s charter, the appointment of directors, and holding of the first board of directors.
Despite the fact that we do not have the authority to provide legal assistance, we can help you with all the documents when creating a trucking company.
DispatchMe's main objective is to provide the best loads on the market for every driver. Our experts ensure that drivers from every region and state receive the top quality and highest-paying loads.
What is required to obtain ownership of the trailer?
As a rule, registration of ownership of the trailer begins at the DMV. However, if you do not have free time, you can fill out the registration form online. When buying or renting a trailer, you should definitely go through the procedure of transferring ownership in your name. This way you will be able to confirm in any instance that you are the owner. When buying a new trailer in the manufacturer's or dealer's showroom, be sure to fill out an application for the right to receive ownership.
Trailer registration
To register a trailer with a vehicle registration company, it will be enough for you to present a document to the DMV that confirms ownership, and then fill out an application for the registration itself. But, foremost, it is necessary
The cost of ownership and registration of the trailer
If the trailer is not secured, then the amount of payment for the registration procedure - $55. In general, the owner of the trailer will have to pay for an annual registration, which looks something like this: $15 - up to 1,000 pounds; $20 - from 1,001 to 2,000 pounds; $40 - from 2,001 to 5,000 pounds; as for trailers weighing over 5,000 pounds, you will have to pay an additional $18 for every thousand pounds. However, it is also worth taking into account the fact that when transporting goods through different states, obtaining a "distribution registration" is required. This registration is made in your state, in order to be able to move around other jurisdictions without having numerous permits or registrations. You pay fees wherever you work, in proportion to the number of miles you have traveled in each state.
Tax on the use of heavy road vehicles
Nevertheless, as a carrier, except for business taxation, you must annually file a tax return for the use of heavy roads with the tax service. This tax is levied on vehicles where the gross weight is 55,000 pounds and above.
Checking driving experience
In the event that you have already created a trailer registration company, and you need to recruit drivers to your staff, then you need to request a driver's experience check. This procedure can be carried out in two ways: in person or by mail. You are given the opportunity to choose a full driving experience, for three years or for five, the cost of each will be $ 25. If you have a lot of questions for us, you can contact DispatchMe right now, where experienced specialists will answer any of your requests.
In short, we save you time so you can start making more money. Many owner-operators start out in this business to haul freight and make money, but later on are faced with all the paperwork, regulatory requirements and negotiations - things that distract you from what DispatchMe enables, takes all the responsibility of maintaining the business you would like to get rid of and makes your business more efficient and you more active with freight. What's more, we strive to offer you the best terms on freight rates so that you can earn more.
Surprisingly, no. In order to hire competent and capable employees, you will have to organize and conduct a fairly thorough recruiting process, which will take time and, if you turn to headhunters, money. Even if you find someone you need, you'll likely need to allocate office space - which is another expense item - and in some cases, conduct additional training. At the same time, as many of our clients testify, DispatchMe services are much more profitable than even one full-time dispatcher. Our experience, connections and professionalism make us the best in the industry.
No. You engage a DispatchMe dispatcher on a monthly basis. We never induce you to sign long-term contracts, because we are confident that you will continually cooperate with us without them. Your dissatisfaction is our dissatisfaction, so we will work hard for your business. However, we believe that all entrepreneurs should have the freedom to choose and work with whomever they want. We think it's important to maintain that choice for you.
Registering with DispatchMe is a simple procedure, as documents can be submitted online.
- First of all, you sign the terms of cooperation with DispatchMe - a document detailing our duties and area of responsibility. This document serves to protect both parties - it is not a long-term service contract. Our services are paid month-to-month, and you are not charged a penalty for terminating the cooperation.
- In addition, you need to take out insurance that lists DispatchMe as the certificate holder. This is common industry practice for carriers, dispatchers and brokers - it will allow us to act at your direction and on your behalf as soon as you want us to. Make sure that your insurance includes compensation as well as coverage for damages.
- We will also need a carrier registration package and references for the shippers and brokers we work with and for our records. This should also include your MC Permit and a signed W9 form.
- At DispatchMe, we keep our records spotless and accurate and always comply with all safety, regulatory and industry requirements, which is why we also need a copy of the CDL for each driver we will be serving.
We work with owner-operators who work under their own MC's as well as carriers with company drivers.
No. Except when you have specifically authorized your insurance agent to review requests for certificates made by the "insured only" - you, we will work with your insurance agent to obtain insurance certificates with information about the certificate holder.
Sure. We're happy to help truck drivers and carriers in all phases of their work. We strive to find passionate and hardworking drivers. Indeed, if you're a first-time carrier, we may have a harder time finding the best loads for you at first, as most shippers and brokers prefer carriers with MC organizations more than six months or a year old. Nevertheless, you can be sure that DispatchMe will do what it takes to make you good money in your first year. Once you reach the one-year milestone, you'll get access to better rates and loads even faster.
Yes. Most of our customers like our full service package, which includes dispatch, documentation, compliance and all the help a carrier needs to do business, but we also have customers who just need help with documentation and paperwork, for example. At DispatchMe, we believe that our clients have the right to conduct their business as they see fit. After all, no one knows their business better than they do. Have other questions? Don't hesitate to contact us. We'd love to help you grow your trucking business.
