Authority age is based on when you receive your operating authority, also known as your MC number. When you have a new authority your load options will be limited due to the fact that certain brokers have requirements and restrictions based on how new the authority is.

Brokers normally like to work with established authorities to minimize their risk to fraud, but that is not always the case. Companies such as CH Robinson, Knight/Swift, and DSV are willing to work with new authorities. While others will want to see at least 30 days or more before they will work with you. Although only a few, some brokers have more stringent requirements and require 180 days.

At TrueNorth we’ve taken the time and effort to assist you in determining who will be easiest to work with depending on your age. Take a look at our New Authority resource to see the brokers who are willing to work new authorities from 0-180 days.
