- Carriers with three months of authority and insurers rated A- or better
Our take
Newer carriers get a lot here: an unrated safety record is fine, and Transportation One offers same-day pay, fuel advances and a loyalty program. Setup can stall on paperwork, so check your insurers' ratings and that your FEIN matches IRS records before you apply.
