About Carrier Launch Kit

Carrier Launch Kit publishes plain-English, cited compliance guides and tools for brand-new U.S. motor carriers in their first months of FMCSA operating authority. We're an independent publisher, not a law firm, insurance agency or government agency, and we are not affiliated with FMCSA or USDOT.

How we write

• Every regulatory claim cites 49 CFR (eCFR) or an official FMCSA, IRS, UCR or IFTA page.
• Industry practice (like broker 'authority age' rules) is labeled as such.
• Content is re-checked at least quarterly; changes are logged on our sources page.
