Why is it important to have a Dun & Bradstreet account?
A Dun & Bradstreet account and D&B D-U-N-S Number® helps you build, establish, and grow your business credit. Business credit is vital when you start a trucking company.
A Dun & Bradstreet account also helps you get a business credit line quickly. Once customers can see that your company has commercial credit, they may be more likely to extend credit to your company.
Dun & Bradstreet is the number one commercial credit source in America. They deliver commercial credit as well as financial and management data related to businesses.
How to Get a D-U-N-S Number
When you become a client with Apex, we can give Dun & Bradstreet your company information, at your request, to help create a D&B account and D-U-N-S Number for your business. It usually takes about 90 days for your account to be created. When Dun & Bradstreet gets in touch with you, they’ll ask you for company information.
Only certain business-related information is required.
Do provide:
- Company name
- Company address
- Date of company formation
- Entity type
- Company phone number

Optional to provide:

Anytime you’re providing financial information, you could be exposing your company to unnecessary risks. Always ask questions and only give your financial information when you’re comfortable doing so.
