I think they're are places you can go to get load securement and tarping training if that helps. It certainly wouldn't hurt. Maybe someone knows a bit more about it.

Good looking Star Car!!!! Gman's grocery list covers what you will need out there. I will add, get lightweight tarps 8footers, some 4footers, and something small to use for a smoke tarp. If a customer specifies tarping, get paid for it and do a good job protecting their freight. I lost a great customer because I let their scrap plywood get damp. As for securement, read your DOT safety regs then get with a flatbedder to show you. Tarping is an artform just like shifting.

Not a big deal!! Are you whacko?? Just kidding. Congratulations you are officially a carrier, just like JB, USX, Schneider, Werner, Swift, etc. Make a few copies of your authority letter, put the original away for safekeeping, and frame a copy. You will need this letter, a copy of your W-9 tax form and your insurance certificate to get setup to book freight. What kind of freight will you be hauling?

I meant BIG DEAL, it's not very official looking. It can't be a legal document, I think it's just a letter stating I'm for real now. Brokers and DOT and anyone else is going to go on the government web site to verify my authority. I can't believe they would go on this letter.

I plan to haul a flatbed. Not sure what, probably anything.
