Start Hauling Before You Have Your Own Authority
MetaSys places your truck under an active MC/DOT operating authority, either our own or a partner carrier's from our network, matched to your equipment, driver, and lanes. No waiting on your own authority to start earning.
No MC yet is not the same as no loads. Not with the right authority behind you.
Get matched to an authority30-minute call. No commitment.
For approved carriers, from application to hauling
Renews in 6-month terms, 1 month written notice to exit
Only when placed under a partner carrier's authority, not MetaSys's own
Every truck type is accepted, except sprinter vans
No authority yet is a hard wall in this industry
A truck without an active operating authority cannot legally haul, and getting your own authority set up takes real time. Here is what that gap actually costs a carrier.
Brokers filter out new authorities
Many brokers apply authority-age rules that screen out MC numbers that are brand new or inactive. It is one of the most common reasons a new operator's truck sits empty, not a lack of freight.
Your own authority takes time
Applying for and activating an MC/DOT operating authority is not instant. While that plays out, a truck with no active authority cannot legally haul, and it cannot earn.
A bad lease-on deal can trap a driver
Lease-on arrangements have a real reputation problem in this industry: vague terms, no clear exit, and settlement numbers that only surface after the fact.
Either way, you know exactly whose authorityyou're running under
Some carriers run directly under MetaSys's own MC/DOT operating authority. Others are placed with a partner in our carrier network. Our internal matching process decides which fits your equipment, driver, and lanes, and you are told which one before you sign anything.
| Factor | MetaSys's Own Authority | Partner Network Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Who holds the authority | MetaSys, under our own MC/DOT operating authority | A partner in our carrier network, under their MC/DOT operating authority |
| Settlement | A straightforward settlement agreed upfront before your first load | 5% to 20% of each load, set by the partner carrier |
| How you're matched | Assigned directly when your equipment, driver, and lanes fit an in-house placement | Sourced from our carrier network based on the same equipment, driver, and lane fit |
| Best fit | Carriers whose profile fits directly under our own operation | Carriers matched to a partner's specific lanes or equipment needs |
Partner carriers in our network are not named publicly. You will know exactly who you are placed with as part of onboarding.
From application to your first load, in about a week
We keep vetting basic on purpose: an equipment check and a driver interview, not a drawn-out compliance process that keeps your truck parked longer than it needs to be.
Tell us about your truck and driver
Equipment type, driver experience, and the lanes you want to run. Takes a few minutes.
Equipment check and driver interview
A basic inspection of your truck and a short interview with your driver, not a deep compliance audit.
Matched to an authority
Our internal matching process places you under MetaSys's own authority or with a partner in our carrier network.
Start hauling
Once approved, you can be running your first load within about a week.

~1 weekto first loadA lease-on is a starting point, not a trap.
Lease-on arrangements have earned a bad reputation in this industry, and usually for a reason: vague terms, no real exit, and drivers who feel stuck. That is not how this works.
From a single truck to a small fleet
Eligibility is deliberately broad. There is no minimum years of experience beyond what basic vetting already checks.
Owner-Operator
One truck, any experience level. Start hauling without waiting on your own authority.
Small Fleet
A handful of trucks, kept running while your authority questions get sorted out.
Between Authorities
Your own MC is inactive or still being approved, and you need to keep hauling in the meantime.
New to Trucking
Any driver experience level is considered. Equipment goes through a basic inspection and a driver interview.
Any Truck, Except Sprinter Vans
Every truck type is accepted for MC lease, with one exclusion: sprinter vans.
Tell us about your truck. We will handle the rest.
Send your details and we will run the equipment check, the driver interview, and the authority match, then walk you through onboarding.
