Question 2

Question 3

Who can dispatch with VLT?

Accepted Answer

Owner-operators — your own truck and a Class A CDL — leased on to VLT and running under VLT’s USDOT and MC authority.

Question 4

What is a freight dispatcher?

Accepted Answer

A freight dispatcher finds and books loads for a trucking company or owner-operator, negotiates rates with brokers and handles the paperwork — carrier packets, rate confirmations and BOLs — so the driver can keep driving.

Question 5

What is the difference between a dispatcher and a freight broker?

A broker arranges transportation for shippers. A dispatcher works as the carrier’s agent under a written agreement and is paid by the carrier. FMCSA explained the difference in guidance published June 16, 2023.

Question 6

Can I get factoring or the fuel card without VLT dispatch?

Accepted Answer

No. Factoring, ELD, trailer lease and fuel card are only for owner-operators dispatched by VLT.

Question 7

Do I need my own MC number to work with VLT?

Accepted Answer

With VLT you do not need one: owner-operators lease on to VLT and run under VLT’s USDOT 3586822 and MC 1214207. VLT keeps its own insurance, BOC-3, UCR and MCS-150 current.

The form that names process agents — people who can accept legal papers for your company — in the states where you operate. FMCSA requires it before operating authority is granted.

Unified Carrier Registration: a yearly registration and fee for carriers that operate in interstate commerce.

Every 24 months, in a month set by your USDOT number (49 CFR 390.19), and whenever your business information changes.

What insurance does a new carrier need?

For-hire carriers of non-hazardous freight in trucks of 10,001 lbs or more need at least $750,000 in liability coverage, filed with FMCSA by the insurer (49 CFR 387.9).

Question 12

What rights do I have if I lease on to a carrier?

Accepted Answer

Under 49 CFR 376.12: a signed written lease, pay within 15 days after you submit delivery paperwork, every chargeback itemized, no required purchase of the carrier’s products or services, and escrow returned with interest within 45 days after the lease ends.
