Advertising and affiliate disclosure

Trucking Startup Cost is free to read. To pay for research and hosting, some pages include links to partner companies. If you click one and request a quote, sign up or become a customer, the partner may pay us a referral fee or commission. You do not pay more because you used our link.

Who our partners are

We work, or plan to work, with companies in these categories: commercial truck insurance marketplaces, freight factoring companies, ELD and fleet-software providers, and DOT drug and alcohol testing consortiums. Partner links are marked as sponsored and carry rel="sponsored".

What partner links never change

• Government fees and taxes. Those are set by FMCSA, the IRS, the UCR Plan, IRP and IFTA jurisdictions, and state agencies.
• Our cost tables and estimates. Partners cannot buy a higher ranking or a different number.

We are not an agency or broker

We are not an insurance agency, lender, law firm or tax advisor, and we are not affiliated with any government agency. Insurance quotes come from licensed providers. Factoring and financing terms are set by each company.
