Research notes
C.H. Robinson's current carrier FAQ states MC authority must be active at least 7 days and publishes $1M auto and $100K cargo insurance requirements. A separate company support page still says signup may begin after receiving an MC number, so BTO uses the stricter 7-day rule; some shipper freight may require 90 days. Official company reporting confirms light box trucks in its emergency freight network, and carrier materials offer regional and long-haul loads. Box-truck OTR loads and specific sizes are not guaranteed; confirm equipment and lane availability in Navisphere before relying on the program. Registration proceeds through its company-linked Highway flow.
