What Goes in a Carrier Packet?
Every broker and shipper requires carriers to submit a carrier packet before they can be assigned a load. The standard packet typically includes six core documents: a W-9 for tax purposes, a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming the broker as additional insured, proof of operating authority from FMCSA (MC number active on SAFER.fmcsa.dot.gov), a signed carrier agreement, a voided check or ACH direct deposit form, and the MC/DOT active status confirmation.
As a dispatcher, you help carriers get these documents together and submitted to brokers quickly. Use this generator to create a checklist and cover sheet, then walk the carrier through each item. A well-organized packet means faster approval and a first load booked sooner.
