For agents, schools, dealers and vendors
Somebody buys a truck, decides to run under their own authority, and starts calling the people around them. Do I need an MC number. What is a BOC-3. Why is my authority still pending. You answer those for free, over and over, and it is not your job. HaulLegal is the answer you can hand them.
Start with the free checklist
One page, print-ready, black on white. All 23 steps in the order they happen, plus what the government actually charges for each one - verified September 2026 against FMCSA, the IRS, UCR and IFTA. Nothing on it expires.
+Insurance agents and brokers
Every carrier getting authority needs you to file the BMC-91 or BMC-91X, and most of them call you before they understand a single other step. Hand them the checklist and they stop calling you about Form 2290.
+CDL schools
A share of every graduating class wants to run their own truck inside two years. This is the map they are missing, and it costs you nothing to give it to them.
+Truck dealers and lenders
A buyer who cannot get authority cannot make payments. Helping them get legal faster protects the sale.
+Process agents, consortiums, ELD and factoring companies
You sell one required piece. We explain where your piece fits in the other twenty-two, at the moment the carrier is looking for it.
+Accountants and tax preparers
Your trucking clients miss IFTA quarters and Form 2290. Our deadline calculator is free and works with no signup.
+A free one-page checklist to hand out
Print it, email it, leave it on the counter. Every step in the order it happens, with the official government fee beside it - $0 for a USDOT number, $300 for authority, and so on. No sales pitch on it beyond our name.
+A free deadline calculator you can point people at
haullegal.com/calendar. The carrier enters a USDOT number and a few dates and sees every recurring deadline. No account, no card, nothing to install.
+A link exchange
If you publish a resources page, we will link to you from the step your service belongs to, and ask for a link back. We only list services a new carrier actually needs.
+Revenue share, if that is how you work
We do not have a public affiliate program yet. If you would rather be paid for referrals than trade links, email us and we will work something out in writing.
A step-by-step walkthrough that takes a brand-new owner-operator from forming the business to running legal - where exactly the click happens, the official link, the real government fee, the typical wait, the mistakes FMCSA flags, and the regulation each step comes from. Built for the Motus system FMCSA launched in May 2026, which means most of the advice your customers find online is now out of date. Plus a deadline calendar that tracks every recurring filing and emails or texts them before it is due. English and Spanish.
Just as important, what it is not. We are not a government agency and not affiliated with the U.S. DOT, FMCSA or the IRS. We are not a law firm. We never file anything on a carrier's behalf and never touch their government accounts - they do every filing themselves, in their own accounts, and we show them how. We publish the government's real price next to every step, which is the whole point: nobody should pay $500 for a free form.
Email chase@askevo.ai and tell us what you do and who your customers are. If you want a stack of checklists, a version with your name on it, or a link on the step your service belongs to, say so - that is the whole conversation.
