Carriers
What it takes to haul on TankWorldWide
We keep the bar high on purpose. Shippers pay more for verified carriers, and verified carriers get first look at the leads on their lanes.
Approval requirements
Active MC & DOT authority
Interstate operating authority in active status with no out-of-service order. We verify against FMCSA records at application and re-check monthly.
Cargo insurance on file
$100,000 minimum for open carriers, $250,000 for enclosed. TankWorldWide must be listed as a certificate holder so we receive expiration notices.
Liability coverage
$750,000 minimum auto liability ($1,000,000 for enclosed and high-value work), plus workers' comp where your state requires it.
Satisfactory safety record
No unsatisfactory FMCSA safety rating and no pattern of unresolved cargo claims. Fresh authority is welcome — we score performance, not tenure.
Marketplace conduct
Honor quoted prices, upload BOL and condition photos at pickup and delivery, and update milestones. Double-brokering a load is an immediate permanent removal.

Carrier FAQ
How long does carrier approval take?
Most applications are reviewed within one business day once your certificate of insurance and MC authority are on file. Incomplete documents are the only common delay.
Do I need my own MC number?
Yes. TankWorldWide only dispatches to carriers with their own active FMCSA operating authority. We do not accept carriers running under someone else's authority.
What does it cost to join?
Nothing to apply or maintain a profile. You only pay for the leads you choose to claim, and disputed bad leads are refunded to your wallet.
