CarrierForge makes trucking start-ups easy and less costly

Dec 18, 2024

Seasoned truck drivers and aspiring business owners now have access to proven, cost-saving expertise when it comes to getting their business started quickly. Relying on over 30 years of experience between its two founders, CarrierForge, a company that pairs an innovative digital platform with one-on-one support, is now available to support those working through the process of becoming independent owner-operators.

Starting a trucking company can feel like navigating a complex maze. New trucking companies frequently find themselves overwhelmed by the number of requirements, from filing the correct paperwork and securing necessary permits, to understanding the costs and establishing a business presence. CarrierForge helps alleviate all these challenges by providing comprehensive guidance tailored to each company’s needs.

"We know the challenges new carriers face,” said co-founder Brendt Peeters. “CarrierForge offers an efficient, personalized process that ensures clients invest only in what they need. Our level of transparency sets us apart; we provide clear, user-friendly solutions that are informative and affordable. We’re not just a service; we’re your roadmap to becoming a legally compliant for-hire carrier."

CarrierForge supports customers with:

· Establishing a business entity, such as an LLC.

· Securing DOT and MC numbers.

· Applying for additional permits.

· Acquiring equipment, offering expertise based on budget and needs.

“This is not a side business for us, we focus solely on helping carriers get started, remaining compliant and quickly turning profits,” shared co-founder Matt Roherty. “We differentiate ourselves from other companies who offer these services with the fact that this is our primary mission. We aim to build long-term relationships with our clients, offering continuous, on-demand support rather than just a one-time service. Our goal is to streamline the process, making it easier and more affordable, so you can launch a trucking company that is set up for success and efficiently remain in business.”

In addition to supporting business set up, CarrierForge also offers:

· Business email and website management.

· 24/7 access to expert advice.

· Reminders for recurring compliance requirements.

· Freight Academy, a step-by-step guide to securing your first loads.

· Free resources and tools, such as a trucking business checklist and educational content.

As the trucking industry continues to evolve, CarrierForge makes it easier for new trucking business owners to thrive in a competitive and complex landscape.
