Carrier setup packet
A carrier setup packet is the onboarding file a freight broker has you complete before it tenders a load: a carrier profile, the signed broker-carrier agreement, a W-9, a copy of your operating authority, payment or factoring details, and a certificate of insurance from your agent naming the broker as certificate holder. The insurance pages decide it. Taye Logistics and Priority Logistics each publish $1,000,000 auto liability and $100,000 cargo; J.B. Hunt's 2021 Canadian packet lists the same limits and adds the insurer's rating, the covered-auto wording and the cargo form. Those are broker terms: J.B. Hunt's US page says there is no USDOT cargo requirement for freight carriers outside household goods.
Updated . Written by Andre Beukers, principal at Redoubt, a commercial insurance agency in Salt Lake City, not a government office.
What is a carrier packet?
It is the broker's file on you, and the broker writes it. Taye Logistics' New Carrier Set Up Packet lists an intro page, the broker's company information, a carrier profile, the broker's own authority and bond form, a workers' compensation election, the broker-carrier agreement, carrier payment terms and a blank W-9. You fill in the profile, sign the agreement and attach the documents it names.
It runs both ways: Taye's includes its own Form BMC-85 "Trust Fund Agreement under 49 U.S.C. 13906," so you see the broker's security before you sign. A packet can also run online. Descartes MyCarrierPortal says each carrier must be invited by a freight broker and is sent to "a customized online packet webpage to verify their profile information, agree to contracts, and complete an electronic W9/W8." J.B. Hunt tells US carriers to "Complete the verification process through Highway," and its US page gives no J.B. Hunt dollar figures; the paper packet quoted below is its Canadian edition, version 4, dated February 22, 2021.
What documents are in a carrier packet?
Priority Logistics and Taye Logistics both want a copy of your operating authority, a W-9 and a certificate of insurance naming them as certificate holder, and J.B. Hunt's packet says the certificate "Must list J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. as certificate holder." Priority adds payment documents; Taye adds its signed agreement, a workers' compensation copy and safety rating documentation if you have it. Arrive Logistics also lists "Active Common or Contract Authority (365+ days)."
Your agent issues the certificate against the policy as it stands, so if the policy does not meet the agreement's insurance clause, no certificate will either. Read that clause before you sign.
- Carrier profile: name and address, tax ID, MC and USDOT numbers, dispatch and accounting contacts
- Signed broker-carrier agreement, which holds the insurance clause the certificate has to meet
- W-9, which the IRS says gives your taxpayer identification number to the person who files an information return
- Certificate of insurance from your agent, broker as certificate holder
- Payment: a voided check for direct deposit, or your factoring company's notice of assignment
- Workers' compensation: a copy of your coverage, or at Taye an election form if you have no employees and no contractors; J.B. Hunt's packet asks for it "as required by applicable law"
How much insurance does a carrier setup packet require?
As much as the broker writes into it. The federal floor is lower: 49 CFR 387.9 sets $750,000 for for-hire carriers of nonhazardous property in interstate commerce at 10,001 lb GVWR and up. FMCSA's filing chart prints $0 in the cargo column for those carriers; the chart cites 49 CFR 387.303, which eCFR marks suspended indefinitely, and FMCSA's page, last updated March 26, 2026, prints it anyway. J.B. Hunt's US page says "There is no USDOT requirement for maintaining cargo insurance for freight motor carriers, only carriers who transport household goods," and that "brokers may set their own requirements." The published packets do.
The table is four brokers' own terms, not a standard, and Arrive's page abbreviates its figures. A broker can ask for more. J.B. Hunt's page says "Specialized or high-value brokered loads may require additional cargo insurance," and a one-truck carrier who called Redoubt in September 2026 relayed his freight company's figures as "the million liability, then they need a 150,000 cargo, 75,000 trailer." Give your agent the numbers in the packet in front of you.
| Broker and document | Auto liability | Cargo | Other insurance terms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taye Logistics, New Carrier Set Up Packet | $1,000,000 combined single limit, reaching shipper-furnished equipment | $100,000 per shipment, no exclusion for negligence, fraud, dishonesty or criminal acts | Workers' comp copy, or an election form if no employees or contractors |
| Priority Logistics Services, setup form | $1,000,000 | $100,000 | Insurer rated B+ or higher by AM Best |
| J.B. Hunt, carrier packet (Canadian edition, 2021) | $1,000,000 combined single limit; Any Auto, or the truck named on the schedule | $100,000 per shipment, All Risk or Broad Form | B+ insurer, 30 days' written notice, deductibles shown on the certificate |
| Arrive Logistics, carrier requirements | $1M | $100k | $1M commercial general liability |

What does my policy have to say to pass the packet?
Limits are the easy half. J.B. Hunt's 2021 agreement wants auto liability extending to "Any Auto" or "All Owned, Hired and Non-Owned Autos," and accepts scheduled autos only "providing the specific vehicle to be utilized is named on the carrier’s insurance schedule." On ISO's Motor Carrier Coverage Form, CA 00 20, those are symbol 61, Any "Auto", and symbol 67, autos "described in Item Three of the Declarations for which a premium charge is shown." On a scheduled policy, the truck must be on the schedule before it hauls that broker's load.
The cargo policy gets read too. J.B. Hunt's packet wants cargo that is All Risk or Broad Form, "primary and not contingent," with no exclusion for "infidelity, fraud, dishonesty, or criminal acts," and can ask your insurer for "a copy of all exclusions from the cargo policy." Taye bars the same exclusions plus negligent acts. Get the cargo form's exclusions page from your agent before you sign.
Watch for clauses about someone else's equipment. Taye's agreement asks auto liability to cover "physical damage to property, including any vehicle or other equipment furnished by the shipper." The ISO motor carrier form's liability section excludes property in the insured's "care, custody or control" and pays for damage to a trailer you don't own under its Trailer Interchange Coverage, if the policy carries it. J.B. Hunt's US page says "Trailer interchange insurance may be required if you are pulling trailers not owned by your company." One market asked about it on an underwriting application Redoubt received for a new carrier in August 2026: "Does the customer have an interchange agreement requiring trailer interchange coverage?" Your policy may be on the insurer's own form; ask which part of it answers the clause.
The rest are rating and notice terms. J.B. Hunt's packet wants an insurer rated B+ or higher by A.M. Best, as Priority does, 30 days' written notice of change or expiration, deductibles shown on the certificate, and, if you use 1099 owner-operators, description-box wording that coverage "extends to the named insured’s owner operators, sub-contractors, and agents."

What goes in a carrier packet for a dispatcher?
Your packet, with the dispatcher as a contact. Priority Logistics' profile form has fields for "Dispatcher Name(s)" and "Dispatch Email" next to the carrier's MC and DOT numbers. Everything else in it stays the carrier's, and the certificate still comes from the carrier's agent.
FMCSA's 2023 guidance on brokers and bona fide agents says there is "no statutory or regulatory definition of a dispatch service," then lists what keeps one from needing broker authority: a written contract in which the carrier appoints the dispatcher as its agent, which "should specify the insurance and liability responsibilities of the dispatch service and motor carrier"; pay from the carrier, not from "the broker, third-party logistics company, or factoring company"; and loads arranged for that carrier only. A dispatcher that arranges transportation for several carriers and allocates loads among them "must obtain broker operating authority registration."
Redoubt's suggestion, not a rule: give a dispatcher the signed dispatch agreement with its insurance and liability terms, copies of your authority and W-9, your bank or factoring details, and your agent's contact, so each certificate request goes straight to the agent.
Is there a free carrier setup packet?
For a carrier, the packet is the broker's form. Taye and Priority publish theirs as open web forms, and neither form, read in full on October 3, 2026, names a fee for completing it. MyCarrierPortal packets arrive by a broker's invitation, and Highway says its carrier side lets you "Verify brokers, streamline onboarding, and protect your identity—all at no cost." The W-9 comes from the IRS's Form W-9 page.
No template supplies the insurance. Any packet still ends at a certificate your agent issues against your policy, and the broker's agreement is the version that counts, because it is the one you sign. For brokers, MyCarrierPortal sells hosted packets and says it "is less expensive to operate and maintain than developing your own website."
What to have ready before a broker's setup packet arrives
- 1.Your MC and USDOT numbers and a copy of your operating authority
- 2.A signed, current W-9 in the company's legal name
- 3.Your insurance agent's name, phone and email
- 4.Your auto liability limit and whether the policy covers any auto or scheduled autos
- 5.The VIN of every truck you will dispatch on the broker's loads, checked against the schedule
- 6.Your cargo limit, cargo deductible and the cargo form's exclusions page
- 7.A workers' compensation certificate, or the owner-only election form a packet accepts
- 8.A voided check for direct deposit, or your factoring company's notice of assignment
- 9.The broker's exact certificate holder name and address, sent to your agent with the date you want to haul
Does a carrier packet make the broker an additional insured?
Not in the packets quoted here. None of the Taye, Priority or J.B. Hunt packets uses the words additional insured; each asks to be named certificate holder. If a packet does use them, forward that exact wording to your agent rather than assuming the certificate covers it.
Do I need general liability insurance for a carrier packet?
Only where the broker asks. Arrive Logistics lists $1M commercial general liability next to auto and cargo; the Taye, Priority and J.B. Hunt packets quoted here do not mention general liability.
Do I need workers' comp for a carrier packet?
J.B. Hunt's 2021 Canadian agreement asks for workers' compensation "as required by applicable law." Taye asks for a copy of the policy, or accepts an election form from a firm that covers no owners and has no employees and no contractors.
Does my FMCSA insurance filing satisfy the packet?
No. FMCSA's chart lists the BMC-91, BMC-91X or BMC-82 as the forms filed with FMCSA. The packets quoted here ask for a certificate of insurance sent to the broker, showing the broker's own limits.
