Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about this service.

How long does it take to get authority?+
FMCSA typically takes 2-8 weeks to process MC authority applications. We expedite where possible and keep you updated on status throughout the process.
What's the difference between MC and DOT numbers?+
A DOT number identifies your company for safety tracking. An MC (Motor Carrier) number is your operating authority that allows you to haul freight for hire. Most owner-operators need both.
Should I form an LLC or operate as a sole proprietor?+
We generally recommend LLC formation for asset protection. If your business gets sued, an LLC protects your personal assets (house, savings). We help you understand the pros/cons for your situation.
What is BOC-3 and why do I need it?+
BOC-3 designates process agents in every state you operate. It's required by FMCSA for anyone with interstate authority. We handle the filing for all 50 states.
How much does authority setup cost?+
Government fees (FMCSA, BOC-3, UCR, IFTA, IRP) total approximately $1,500-2,500 depending on your state and operation type. Our service fee for handling all applications is $500-1,000. We provide a detailed quote.
Do you help with insurance requirements?+
Yes. We explain the required insurance (liability, cargo, etc.), typical costs ($12,000-15,000/year for new authorities), and can connect you with insurance providers who specialize in trucking.
Can you help if I already have authority but need help with compliance?+
Absolutely. If you have existing authority, we can review your compliance status, update any filings, and help you get organized going forward.
