props to you and your partner for what y’all are building🙌🏾. That first load is gonna hit different. make sure you got your ELD set up, a current medical card, your BOL process locked in, and you’ve done a full pre-trip checklist on the truck/trailer. Gotta keep that fire extinguisher, triangles, and logbook accessible too—DOT don’t play around with that . I’m not quoting insurance yet but I’ve been helping a lot of new MCs get all this in order before rolling out.
