Every one of these 8 carriers needs a liability filing (and usually cargo) before it can run, and 62% had
nothing on file at the snapshot. New ventures shop fast and bind with the first agent who calls with a quote. CarrierDaily delivers the
individual applicants in Utah as a daily CSV with contact fields, flagged by insurance status, so you reach them the morning they file.
