CASH + COMPLIANCE · WATCHED TOGETHER

New carriers don't fail in the market.
They fail on a date they forgot and a bill they didn't see coming.

In year one, a missed filing and a cash crunch feed each other until the truck stops earning. M8 watches both at once — and warns you before the spiral starts.

No card. One page. Every deadline and dollar in your next 12 months.

WHY YEAR ONE IS DANGEROUS
Cash and compliance hand the gun back and forth
01
Cash crunch
Broker check is 40 days out. Fuel and the truck payment aren't.
02
Paperwork slips
No time, no money — UCR, IFTA, the audit prep all wait.
03
Authority flagged
Fines land. A lapse or missed filing puts the authority at risk.
04
Brokers drop you
Flagged authority means no loads — which deepens the crunch.
…and round it goes. Miss one date or one payment and the loop starts. The job isn't filing paperwork or forecasting cash — it's catching the loop before it closes.
One monitor. Both sides.

Every other tool watches one slice — your factor sees factoring, your ELD sees miles, a filing service sees the filing. M8 holds the whole picture, which is the only way to catch the spiral.

◷ COMPLIANCE
New-entrant safety audit
The audit a huge share of new carriers fail. We keep you audit-ready and walk you through it.
MCS-150 biennial
Miss it and your USDOT deactivates. We track your exact schedule off your DOT number.
UCR renewal
Annual, due before Jan 1. Lapse blocks your plate and IFTA renewals.
IFTA quarterly
Four fuel-tax filings a year. We flag each one before it's late.
Form 2290 (HVUT)
Due Aug 31. No Schedule 1, no plate renewal.
Insurance filing
A lapse starts a 30-day clock to lose your authority. We watch the date.
$ CASH
Factoring vs. fixed costs
We model your advances against fuel, insurance, and the truck payment — not in a vacuum.
Cash runway
How many days until the next crunch, updated as money moves.
Renewal shock
Big annual bills — insurance, UCR — flagged weeks out, not the day they hit.
Broker payment gap
30–45 days waiting on a check is how new carriers die. We see the gap forming.
The catch M8 makes that no one else can: insurance renewal + thin cash buffer, or 2290 due + nothing set aside — the moments both sides hit at once.
How it works
01
Tell us once
One short intake — your authority, equipment, insurance, and how loads pay. That's the whole setup.
02
We watch
M8 tracks every deadline against your cash, around the clock, and counts down to each one.
03
We warn — early
A heads-up before each due date. When something's actually serious, a real person reaches out, not a bot.
Start free. Upgrade when it's worth it.

One missed MCS-150 deactivates your USDOT. One insurance lapse starts a 30-day clock to lose your authority. Either one, and the truck stops earning. The monitor is $49.

Why M8
Not a factor. Not a broker.
We're not a factoring company or an insurance agency. We watch your whole operation — so the advice isn't built to push one product.
We've watched this for years
We've seen exactly how a new authority goes under — which signal cracks first, and how fast. The monitor is built around that.
One intake, the whole picture
Set up once. Every deadline, every dollar, every warning reads from the same place — so nothing falls through a gap between tools.
