Let Us Apply for your FMCSA Authority

Weekly we get phone calls from companies who need help fixing their FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) Authority. The site isn’t always clear, and some try to navigate the application system and end up applying for the wrong type of Authority. If this does happen, we can fix it but it takes time for the FMCSA to processes the request. Some companies even over pay and the FMCSA does NOT issue refunds for mistakes. We will help you save time and money, getting the green light on your FMCSA MC number asap so you can hit the road.

Who is the FMCSA?

The FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) is a federal government agency responsible for regulating commercial Motor vehicles. Companies must get permission from the FMCSA to haul loads commercially for hire. There are two main pieces of your FMCSA authority: a USDOT Number and MC Number. You need your FMCSA authority if:

• You want to start your own trucking company
• You want to become an owner operator
• You want to become a  broker
