Most new authorities pick a factor in their first month. Be the letter on the desk.
A new owner-operator's first broker pays in thirty to sixty days and the fuel is due now. Your agent reads the authority filings, drops the reinstatements and the fleets, and mails a letter with a text-back line the week they file - before the first load.
Dear Marisol,
Congratulations on getting your operating authority for Marisol Hauling LLC last week.
Before your first loads there are three things that trip up most new carriers: the BMC-91X insurance filing that has to be on file before your authority goes active, IRP and IFTA before the first interstate load, and the new-entrant safety audit that comes inside your first year.
I put together a one-page new-entrant checklist for carriers like yours. If it would be useful, call or text me - no obligation.

The filings, the shells out, the reasons - public.
Read Sunday night; the pages update every Monday, 7 AM Eastern. One territory, twenty-nine counties - every county has a page, and a county gets its own list the first week five or more of its filings look real.
First. Done for you. Proven.
First.
A carrier that gets its authority on Tuesday hauls its first load within the month and waits thirty to sixty days to be paid for it. The factor it signs with is usually the first one that reached it - and today that is a phone bank working a list everyone bought.
Done for you.
Your agent reads the FMCSA authority filings for metro Atlanta on Sunday night, drops the reinstatements and the fleets, writes a letter to each true new owner-operator - one useful thing they need before their first load, in your voice - and mails the ones you approve Tuesday morning.
Proven.
Every letter carries a tracking number, a QR code and a reference code, and the text-back line goes straight to you. When an owner-operator calls or texts, you get an email naming the carrier and the letter. Break-even is one to three carriers a year.
Every letter written fresh, in your voice.
Mail merge writes one letter and sends it a hundred times. Your agent writes a hundred letters - each from scratch, in your voice, with your offer, about the one thing that business needs this month. You approve every one, and your edits teach it.
Three days. That's the product.
A carrier or two covers the year.
Twenty-five letters a week runs about $4,050 a year. Break-even is one to three factored carriers a year - against $8 to $110 a lead today for a name four other reps also bought.
The full case, with the numbers →What factors ask first.
The filings are public and everyone has them. What nobody else does is drop the reinstatements and the fleets, write a letter to each real new carrier in your voice, mail it the week they file, and put a number on it that rings your desk. They'll get eleven calls this week and no letters.
One useful thing from the new-entrant set - the BMC-91X, IRP and IFTA, the UCR, the Clearinghouse query, the safety audit - and a one-page checklist. Never a rate in the letter, never a hard sell.
An agent might - that's a different profession and a different letter. But no other factoring company gets a carrier we write to for you, ever, and a carrier hears from at most a few professionals through us in a month.
Cold mail to businesses that don't know you runs 1 to 2%. On 25 letters a week that's a conversation or two a month, and one to three factored carriers a year put you well ahead.
Five minutes. Approve the batch if it looks right. Miss Monday and nothing is lost - approve any day and they mail the next morning.
Not live yet. One email the week it opens.
Tell us where. You get one email the week freight factoring companies open in your county - nothing before. That email carries the week's numbers and one button that starts your free Monday list.
