Verified VTC Program Rules

The Verified VTC Program recognizes authentic, active, and well-managed Virtual Trucking Companies on TrucklineMP. Verified VTCs receive a blue verification badge and access to additional platform features.

How to Apply

Eligibility

You must be the owner of the VTC or hold the management.vtc.edit permission.
Your VTC must not already be verified.
The Verified VTC Program must be currently accepting applications (check the status on your VTC’s Verified Status page).

Application Process

Navigate to your VTC’s management panel.
Select Verified Status from the sidebar.
Review the program requirements displayed on the page.
Click Apply for Verification to open the application form.
Complete all required questions accurately.
(Optional) Provide a Discord webhook URL to receive status notifications.
Submit your application.

After Submission

Your application will enter Pending Review status.
The Truckline moderation team will review your submission.
You may be moved to Under Review while your application is being evaluated.
You will be notified of the decision via:
- The status displayed on your VTC’s Verified Status page.
- A Discord webhook notification (if provided).

Reapplication

If your application is rejected, you must wait 30 days before reapplying.
If your application is withdrawn, you may submit a new application immediately.

Withdrawing an Application

You may withdraw your application at any time while it is Pending or Under Review.
Withdrawn applications can be replaced with a new submission immediately.

Requirements

The following requirements must be met for your VTC to be approved for verification:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Benefits of Verified Status

Verified VTCs receive the following benefits:

Benefit	Standard VTC	Verified VTC
Verification Badge	No	Yes (blue checkmark)
Custom Roles	Up to 20	Unlimited
Directory Visibility	Standard	Highlighted with badge
Profile Badge	None	Blue “Verified” flair
Custom Page Layout	No	Yes
Community Trust	Standard	Enhanced credibility
Beta Tester Recruitment	Standard	Priority recruitment

Verification Badge

A blue checkmark badge is displayed next to your VTC’s name throughout the platform.
The badge appears on your VTC profile, in the VTC directory, and in global news feeds.

Unlimited Custom Roles

Verified VTCs can create an unlimited number of custom roles for their organizational hierarchy.
Standard VTCs are limited to 20 roles.

Enhanced Visibility

Verified VTCs are highlighted in the VTC directory with a blue “Verified” badge.
Your VTC profile displays a prominent “Verified” flair with the description: “This VTC has been verified for authenticity.”

Priority Beta Tester Recruitment

All members of Verified VTCs receive priority status when applying to become TrucklineMP beta testers.
This priority applies to every member of your VTC, not just leadership.
Members must still complete the beta NDA verification process.
Priority status is automatically applied when a member accepts the beta NDA using their linked Discord account.

Custom Page Layout and Sections

Verified VTCs can rearrange their VTC page website content using the Home Layout builder.
You can add custom profile sections to showcase your community, rules, recruitment, or other information.
Manage this from your VTC management panel under Appearance → Profile Sections and Home Layout (requires the management.vtc.appearance permission).

Rules for Maintaining Verified Status

Once your VTC is verified, you must continue to comply with the following rules to maintain your status.

Compliance Requirements

Adhere to all TrucklineMP rules and policies. Any violations may result in immediate removal of verified status.
Maintain an accurate and up-to-date VTC profile. This includes:
- A valid and active contact method (website, Discord, or email).
- Accurate VTC information and description.
Do not engage in fraudulent or deceptive practices. This includes:
- Falsifying membership numbers.
- Impersonating other VTCs or organizations.
- Misrepresenting your VTC’s activities or affiliations.
Maintain active VTC operations. Verified VTCs that become inactive or abandoned may have their status revoked.
Do not use AI-generated media. Verified VTCs may not use AI-generated content as part of their official VTC presence on TrucklineMP (see below).

No AI-Generated Media

Verified VTCs (and Partnered VTCs) may not use AI-generated content for their public VTC presence on TrucklineMP. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to:

AI-generated profile pictures
AI-generated banners
AI-generated website content or landing pages presented as your VTC’s official site
Any other AI-generated images, video, or media used in your VTC profile, page sections, or branding

Using AI-generated media may result in removal of verified or partnered status and a requirement to replace affected assets.

Prohibited Actions

The following actions may result in immediate removal of verified status:

Violating the TrucklineMP Terms of Service.
Engaging in harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory behavior.
Using the VTC for illegal activities.
Falsifying information on your VTC profile or application.
Transferring VTC ownership to an ineligible user.
Failing to respond to moderation inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
Using AI-generated profile pictures, banners, website content, or other AI-generated media on your VTC page or as official VTC branding.

Status Revocation

Verified status may be revoked by the Truckline moderation team at any time if your VTC fails to comply with these rules.
If your verified status is revoked, you may reapply after addressing the issues that led to the revocation.
Revocation is permanent for the current application cycle. You must submit a new application after the revocation.

Name Change Restrictions

Verified VTCs are subject to name change cooldowns to prevent abuse.
Frequent or suspicious name changes may trigger a review of your verified status.
