HUDSON CARRIER GUIDE

Know your equipment

Gather your carrier documents

Have your authority details, insurance information, W-9, and relevant carrier documents ready. Confirm the requested documents through a verified contact channel before sharing them.

Define the way you want to run

Write down your home base, preferred lanes, operating radius, availability, and home-time requirements. Include any loading or delivery tasks you do not accept.

Review the agreement

Confirm dispatch authorization, service scope, commission basis, billing, communication expectations, and termination terms before signing.

Start the conversation
