What is new authority dispatch from Texas Solutions?
Texas Solutions dispatches carriers with brand-new MC authority from day one. Dispatchers send your carrier packets, find brokers that accept new MC numbers, negotiate every load and handle rate confirmations and invoicing, 24/7. Your first load is dispatched free; after that the fee is 5% of weekly gross for semis, 7% for hotshots and 8% for box trucks.
The first months with a new MC number are the hardest. Many brokers want a few months of authority history, insurance on file and a clean safety record before they book you, and every broker has its own setup packet. That is where most new trucking companies lose time and money.
Our dispatchers work with new authority every day. We know which brokers accept new MCs, keep your packet ready to send, and build a lane history for your truck so more brokers open up as your authority ages.
How we get loads for a new MC
- Prepare one complete carrier packet: MC authority, W-9, certificate of insurance, and notice of assignment if you factor.
- Target brokers that work with new authority and set you up with them before you need a load.
- Start on lanes where new carriers get booked, then build repeat freight with brokers who see you deliver.
- Negotiate every rate: a new MC does not have to mean the lowest rate on the board.
