The First-Year Trap
Getting your CVOR is the easy part. The hard part is surviving the MTO's mandatory New Carrier Audit, which typically happens within your first 12 to 18 months of operation.
Many new carriers fail this audit because they were focused on getting freight moving, not on building compliance systems. A failed audit means a downgraded CVOR, which can double your insurance premiums or cause your policy to be cancelled entirely.
We build your compliance infrastructure from day one so you are ready when the auditor calls.
