Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”The following requirements must be met for your VTC to be approved for verification:
General Requirements
Section titled “General Requirements”- Your VTC must be a legitimate and active virtual trucking community.
- Your VTC must have a complete profile, including:
- A valid VTC name and handle.
- A description or slogan.
- Contact information (website, email, Discord, or social media).
- Your VTC must comply with all TrucklineMP Terms of Service and community guidelines.
Cross-Platform Membership
Section titled “Cross-Platform Membership”If your VTC maintains an active profile on another virtual trucking platform (for example, TruckersMP), a portion of the drivers on that external roster must also be members of your VTC on TrucklineMP. The required overlap scales with your external roster size — larger communities are expected to have a stronger presence here.
This requirement applies when you have one or more external profiles linked or disclosed in your application (e.g. a TruckersMP VTC page URL). If you have no external VTC profile, this section does not apply.
Overlap tiers
Section titled “Overlap tiers”Use the row that matches the driver count on your largest disclosed external VTC profile. You must meet both the percentage and the minimum absolute count for that tier (whichever calculation requires more members wins).
| External drivers | Required overlap on TrucklineMP |
|---|---|
| 1–19 | At least 8 members |
| 20–49 | At least 25%, minimum 12 members |
| 50–99 | At least 30%, minimum 18 members |
| 100–199 | At least 35%, minimum 40 members |
| 200–399 | At least 40%, minimum 90 members |
| 400+ | At least 45%, minimum 160 members |
Examples
- 15 drivers on TruckersMP → need 8 on TrucklineMP.
- 40 drivers on TruckersMP → 25% = 10, but the tier minimum is 12 → need 12 on TrucklineMP.
- 80 drivers on TruckersMP → 30% = 24 on TrucklineMP.
- 150 drivers on TruckersMP → 35% = 53 on TrucklineMP.
- 350 drivers on TruckersMP → 40% = 140 on TrucklineMP.
Percentages are rounded up to the nearest whole driver. Staff count overlap from the external roster you disclose — inactive or duplicate entries may be excluded at review.
At application
Section titled “At application”- You must meet the tier for your external roster size at the time of application.
- Applications below the required overlap may be rejected until TrucklineMP membership catches up.
After verification
Section titled “After verification”- You are expected to stay within your tier. A sustained drop more than 10 percentage points below your tier’s percentage, or below your tier’s absolute minimum, may trigger a review and can affect verified status.
- Short-term dips (e.g. after a recruitment drive on another platform) are understood; contact staff if you expect a temporary change.
Application Questions
Section titled “Application Questions”The application form includes questions configured by the Truckline team. These may include:
- Your VTC’s TruckersMP page URL (if applicable).
- Details about your VTC’s structure, rules, and activity.
- Links to your VTC’s Discord server or website.
- A Discord webhook URL for receiving verification status notifications.
All required fields must be completed truthfully. Incomplete or misleading applications will be rejected.
