What is a Carrier Packet?
A carrier packet is a collection of documents that brokers require before they can legally dispatch loads to your company. Think of it as your professional credentials package.

Proof of operating authority
Insurance Certificate
Cargo and liability coverage
W-9 Form
Tax identification
Company Information
Contact and business details
Equipment List
Vehicle specifications
Driver Information
Licensing and qualifications
Why Brokers Need This
Brokers are legally required to verify carrier credentials before dispatching loads. This protects both parties and supports regulatory compliance.
Good News: Once submitted, most broker packets stay valid for one to two years.
