Common Questions
How long does it take to get an active MC Number?
It typically takes 21 to 30 days to get an active Motor Carrier (MC) Number. The FMCSA mandates a 21-day federal protest period. Once that passes, and your BOC-3 and proof of insurance are filed, your authority becomes active.
What is included in the New Authority Setup Package?
Our $1,099 turnkey package includes federal registration for your MC and DOT Numbers, the required BOC-3 filing, Unified Carrier Registration (UCR), IFTA account setup, IRP registration assistance, and your first IRS Form 2290 filing.
Do I need an LLC to apply for trucking authority?
While it is possible to apply as a sole proprietor, we highly recommend establishing an LLC or Corporation first. An LLC protects your personal assets from business liabilities, which is critical in the trucking industry.
What is a BOC-3 filing and why do I need it?
The BOC-3 (Designation of Process Agents) is a federal requirement for all interstate motor carriers. It designates a legal agent in every state where you operate who can accept legal documents on your behalf.
