How joining works

1. 1

   Create your provider account

   Sign up below and accept the Provider Agreement.

2. 2

   Set up your profile

   Add your business details and choose the transport modes you offer.

3. 3

   Verify your identity

   A government ID and live selfie check by Stripe Identity, after you read the biometric notice and consent. The fee is $20.

4. 4

   Get reviewed for each mode

   Have the credentials your modes need ready. A mode-by-mode review by the CouthActs team is coming; until then you can bid once your identity is verified.

5. 5

   Connect payouts

   Connect a Stripe account to withdraw what you earn.

Every provider passes an identity check. Depending on your modes, you'll also need the authority, insurance and licences the law requires for that work.

Today, CouthActs verifies your identity and reviews any business documents you upload for completeness; regulatory numbers you enter are shown as self-reported. A mode-by-mode credential review by the CouthActs team is coming. Have these ready so you're approved quickly when it starts.

Freight trucking, moving, heavy haul and oversized cargo

USDOT number, active FMCSA MC operating authority (household goods authority for interstate moves), liability insurance on file with FMCSA, cargo insurance, and oversize/overweight permits where needed.

Armored transport

An armored car licence, commercial auto liability and cargo insurance, and firearms permits where your crews carry them.

FAA Part 135 or air carrier certificate (or air cargo authority) and aviation liability insurance.

Cargo ship, ferry and yacht charter

USCG merchant credentials and certificate of inspection where required, an FMC ocean transportation intermediary licence for ocean freight services, and marine liability insurance.

Insurance certificates must name CouthActs Incorporated as the certificate holder and show the policy number, coverage amount and expiry date.

Freight modes (trucking, heavy haul, hazmat, oversized cargo, moving, and courier and last mile) are also covered by the Broker-Carrier Agreement, which applies once CouthActs acts as the licensed property broker for those jobs.

• When a customer books you, the agreed amount is already held from their CouthActs wallet, so you know the money is there.
• Payment is released to your CouthActs wallet once the job is complete and a 24-hour hold has passed: you enter the customer's delivery PIN at handover, the customer confirms, and the customer then has 24 hours to raise a problem (they can also release it sooner). If the customer doesn't respond within 72 hours of a verified PIN handover, CouthActs can review and release it.
• CouthActs deducts an escrow fee from each released payment: 8% under $500, 6% to $5,000, 4% to $50,000, 2% to $500,000, then 1% (capped at $10,000). Customers don't pay it.
• Withdraw to your Stripe account for free (typically 2–5 business days to your bank), or instantly for 1.5%. Payouts are currently available to providers who can open a Stripe account in the United States.
