What about refunds?
This is digital content, so there is no refund once access is unlocked. Read lesson 1 free first. The full terms are on the Training Terms page.
Is it for the United States only?
Yes. It teaches US rules and US freight. Outside the US, local law and tax differ, so get professional advice before you act.
Is the content kept current?
We review the courses every month and update them when rules change. The Courses page shows what changed.
Educational material only. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and nothing here promises any level of income. Rules and fees change, so confirm current requirements with FMCSA, the IRS and a qualified professional.
