Certificate of insurance (COI)
When you are ready to book or onboard us as a vendor, text or call (737) 419-8485 and include:
- Certificate holder — legal entity name and full mailing address
- Whether you need additional insured or special wording (tell us your template)
- RMIS / insurance portal contact or invite, if your compliance team uses one
- Load or lane context if the COI is tied to a specific job
We carry cargo and auto liability as an FMCSA-authorized carrier; coverage details appear on the COI we issue.
W-9 & AP onboarding
If accounts payable needs a W-9 or vendor packet, mention it when you book or email your request — we will align paperwork before or right after the first load, consistent with how your team onboards carriers.
How do I reach Centex for a load?
Fastest: text Hotshot to (737) 419-8485 or call. You reach the operator, not a broker call center. For structured load details from a desktop, use the quote template on our homepage (copy or text).
For a pre-filled email draft (you enter the recipient in your mail app), use open load request in email — SMS and phone remain the fastest for same-day moves.
