For interstate carriers who transport someone else's freight or passengers for payment. We prepare and submit your FMCSA application, reviewed before filing, and track it through to a decision.
Not sure which applies to you? Ask us before you file — it's a common question and there's no charge for asking.
The $300 is FMCSA's own fee, paid directly to FMCSA — not part of our service fee, and never marked up.
A USDOT number identifies your operation to FMCSA. Operating authority (what most people call MC Authority) is a separate, additional requirement, and only applies if you are for-hire: transporting someone else's regulated property or passengers, for payment, across state lines. If you only ever haul your own company's freight (private carriage), you generally need a USDOT number but not operating authority.
FMCSA requires a BOC-3 process agent designation on file before new operating authority is granted. It's a separate, required step — see our BOC-3 filing — not part of this filing itself.
That's FMCSA's own application fee, paid directly to FMCSA, separate from and in addition to our service fee. We don't mark it up.
This depends entirely on FMCSA's own processing, which varies and is outside our control. We track your application and update you as its status changes.
