The sequence
What happens, and when
Order matters more than speed. Filing insurance before your docket exists wastes money; buying an ELD before you know your fleet size wastes more. This is the sequence we run.

Entity and authority
LLC filed, EIN issued, Motus application submitted, BOC-3 designated, UCR registered. Your docket is open and being watched daily.
