Start My CarrierThe Carrier Launch Partnership is delivered as three connected but separately governed workstreams. Each has its own scope of work or agreement with its own version and acceptance record — they are never merged into one document.
One-time launch work: strategy, truck selection support, insurance liaison, registrations, compliance setup, and audit preparation — covered by the $3,000 launch fee.
Governed by the Carrier Preparation Scope of Work
Ongoing administrative carrier management: records, driver and equipment administration, compliance tracking, settlements preparation, and breakdown-management tools.
Governed by the Carrier Management Scope of Work
Professional dispatch support: freight search, rate negotiation, load booking, shipper communication, accessorials, and billing paperwork — at 10% of qualifying revenue.
Governed by the Dispatch Services Agreement
Carrier Preparation is the launch phase covered by the one-time $3,000 fee. Tacit works alongside you — reviewing your plan, organizing truck candidates, acting as your trucking operations liaison with a licensed insurance representative, preparing registrations and filings for your signature, and setting up the compliance systems and Tacit OS workspace the carrier will run on. Expand each area below for the detailed scope.
After launch, your carrier is managed administratively through Tacit OS: records, driver and equipment administration, insurance and registration tracking, safety and compliance workflows, and settlement preparation. Tacit OS provides the tools and visibility needed to manage the carrier — and the owner retains final responsibility for the decisions that run it. No separate monthly management price is charged at this time.
Once the carrier is ready to move freight, Tacit provides dispatch support: sourcing loads, negotiating rates, booking with your approval, and — most importantly — handling the shipper and receiver communication that keeps freight moving and your carrier's reputation strong. Dispatch is governed by the separate Dispatch Services Agreement.
Applies to loads sourced, negotiated, booked, managed, or materially serviced by Tacit
Included in the calculation
Linehaul plus detention, layover, TONU, stop-off, driver-assist, tarp, reconsignment, redelivery, storage, cancellation, and other negotiated freight or accessorial revenue.
Excluded from the calculation
Separately itemized fuel surcharge, and lumper, toll, scale, permit, and repair reimbursements and other direct pass-throughs.
When fuel surcharge is not separately itemized, the calculation rules in the Dispatch Services Agreement apply. Fees are calculated from final rate confirmations, revised rate confirmations, settlements, and factoring records — and invoiced per the separate Dispatch Services Agreement, never at checkout.

Hiring, classifying, compensating, disciplining, and terminating drivers.

The carrier's relationships and reputation are built and owned by the owner.
Growth strategy, reviewing reports, and responding to escalations.
Honest scope makes for durable partnerships. Tacit provides administrative carrier management, operational support, compliance tracking, trucking operations liaison services, and dispatch support — and stops at these lines:
A structured sequence from purchase to operations. Timelines depend on financing, insurance, and government processing — operations begin when the carrier is legally and operationally ready.
Tacit provides administrative carrier management, operational support, compliance tracking, carrier-management workflows, trucking operations liaison services, and dispatch support. The client remains the motor carrier and retains final responsibility for safety, legal compliance, employment decisions, finances, equipment, insurance, and business operations.
Tacit is not a motor carrier for the client's freight, an employer of the client's drivers, an insurance producer, a lender, a mechanic, an accountant, or an attorney. Nothing on this page is legal, tax, financial, or insurance advice.
Tacit makes no guarantees of approvals, timelines, truck condition, freight volume, revenue, or profitability.
One structured launch, one operating system, and a clear path to grow. Your $3,000 covers Carrier Preparation — reviewed and accepted before payment. Carrier Management and Dispatch are optional services you can add later, each under its own agreement.
