System Setup

This carrier onboarding process is done on RMIS.

Truckstop's RMIS, short for Registry Monitoring Insurance Services, is a well-known compliance solution for the transportation industry. RMIS offers brokers a comprehensive carrier onboarding solution.

Carriers who onboard with brokers through RMIS have one universal log-in to RMIS that can be used with all brokers. However, there is a unique URL for each broker's carrier registration page. Additionally, if you have your W9 and insurance on file with RMIS, then that same information can be used, along with any other profile information previously inputted, across all setups on RMIS.

Some carrier onboarding processes on RMIS require an invitation code from the broker.

Additional Insured

If you have previously done carrier onboarding with another broker using RMIS, then your insurance information should be on file already with RMIS. Otherwise, you may be requested to add RMIS as the additional insured on your carrier's policy as follows:

Registry Monitoring Insurance Services, Inc.
5388 Sterling Center Drive
Westlake Village, CA 91361

Most brokers will use the certificate with additional insured from RMIS. However, review the carrier onboarding process for any exceptions.
