How it works
One page for both sides. You never deal with the other side directly — a TruckBiz coordinator calls both of you at every step. The money always goes through Escrow.com, and the buyer sees the company name, MC and USDOT only after the 10% deposit is in escrow.
Selling your company
Free to list. You pay nothing unless the company sells.
1List it — find your MC, get a codeThe code goes to the phone in your federal record — that is how we know the company is really yours. After the code, a 1-minute «what's included» puts your company on the board as Seller-reported. Your price, platform screenshots and documents are optional — you add them after you are live.
2We verify — before any buyer's depositUpload your Articles of Organization and EIN letter — once TruckBiz matches them, your listing shows «Verified» for 90 days. Other papers and platform screenshots are optional (we blur the names) and do not change the status. The full deal check (liens, debts, factoring, every owner) runs fresh when a buyer is found, before any deposit. Federal-record changes update your card on their own.
3A buyer is found — send documents and sign within 7 daysYour coordinator calls both sides and ticks off each document you send. Your listing is locked from your signature and leaves the board at the deposit. Only when the deal check is done does the buyer sign and place the 10% deposit in Escrow.com — then your name and MC are revealed.
4Sign the transfer, get paid minus 12%The buyer pays the 90% balance, we submit every transfer filing within 5 calendar days of Escrow.com approving the buyer's full amount (price + $2,500 + Escrow.com's fee); the buyer has 48 hours after we send «all filed»; no dispute — and Escrow.com sends you the money, minus our 12%.
Sell your company →What protects both of you
Money through Escrow.comA licensed escrow agent holds the funds. Not us. The 10% deposit and then the 90% balance sit there until 48 hours after every transfer filing is submitted — nobody walks away with the money.
Names stay hiddenCompany name, MC and USDOT open only after the buyer's 10% deposit is in escrow. Until then both sides see only a lot number and a coordinator.
Every lot shows its statusTwo statuses: Seller-reported, or Verified once TruckBiz has matched the Articles and EIN letter (good for 90 days). Separately, every deal gets a fresh check of liens, debts, factoring and every owner before any buyer's deposit — Verified or not.
What it costs
BuyerYou pay the agreed price into escrow — 10% deposit, then 90% — plus a $2,500 transfer package through Escrow.com, paid out to TruckBiz at closing, and Escrow.com's fee. Nothing else.
SellerFree to list. You pay 12% at payout, held back by Escrow.com: on $15,000 that is $1,800 — you receive $13,200. If the company keeps a debt, the 12% is counted on the price plus that debt. Nothing else.
TruckBizWe are the marketplace and the coordinator in the middle — not a buyer and not a seller. We never own the companies here and never take a side in your deal.
