You don’t have hours to waste chasing paperwork and guessing what a broker wants. You want to know exactly what’s needed, who you’re dealing with, and how fast you’ll be rolling.
KNL’s Carrier Onboarding is designed to keep things simple, with clear requirements, easy steps, and real people ready to help you get set up without a week of back-and-forth. We know you don’t have hours to waste chasing paperwork or guessing what a broker expects — you want to know exactly what’s needed, who you’re working with, and how quickly you can get rolling. That’s why we built a straightforward, transparent onboarding process that cuts through the noise and helps qualified carriers get approved and start booking freight fast.
We gather your company and contact details, MC/DOT and authority status, equipment types, and preferred lanes, regions, and home base.
We verify your active authority and insurance, review your safety rating and inspection history, confirm your W-9 and required documents, because we move fast — but never cut corners for your protection or ours.
Once you’re approved on safety and compliance, we review and sign the carrier agreement, outline payment terms and options, walk through accessorial policies, explain our communication expectations, and make sure you know the rules before you pull your first load.
We get you set up in our system for tendering and payment, provide clear dispatch and load-update instructions, connect you with our carrier and operations teams, and start you on freight that fits your lanes and equipment so you can get rolling quickly and smoothly.

Hotshot shipping is a specialized service designed for urgent and time-sensitive deliveries. Unlike standard freight services, which may involve scheduled pickups and longer transit times, hotshot shipping prioritizes speed and efficiency, providing immediate dispatch and expedited transportation for smaller loads that require rapid delivery.
Our hotshot shipping services are ideal for a wide range of smaller loads, including equipment, machinery, building materials, tools, automobiles, and other critical supplies. If you have specific requirements, our team can provide tailored solutions to ensure your goods are transported safely and efficiently.
We pride ourselves on our rapid response times. As soon as you submit a hotshot shipping request, our team works quickly to dispatch the nearest available driver and vehicle, typically within hours. We understand the urgency of your needs and prioritize getting your shipment on the road as fast as possible.
KNL Logistics offers hotshot shipping services across a wide geographical area, including local, regional, and long-distance routes. Our extensive network allows us to provide fast and reliable service wherever your shipment needs to go. Contact us to discuss specific locations and coverage areas.
Safety and security are paramount in our hotshot shipping services. We use specialized vehicles equipped with securement tools to safely transport your goods, and our drivers are trained in best practices for handling urgent loads. Additionally, we provide real-time tracking and monitoring to keep you informed throughout the shipment's journey.
