Being placed Out-of-Service for "refusal of audit" or "no contact" is a serious issue that halts your operations. Crucially, your ability to operate is not automatically restored after the mandatory 30-day period.

What's Included:

• Official Reinstatement Filing – We prepare and file the necessary application with the FMCSA to have your 'Out-of-Service' order lifted as soon as you are eligible.

• Guidance for Future Compliance – Once reinstated, we provide a clear action plan on what to do next, including how to prepare for your rescheduled safety audit to ensure you pass and maintain compliance going forward.

Get Back on the Road Legally. Operating with an Out-of-Service USDOT number can lead to severe penalties, including fines and vehicle impoundment. Don't risk further action by assuming you are automatically reinstated. Let us handle the official process to get your business moving again safely and compliantly.

This filing is for motor carriers who need to reinstate their DOT Operating Authority (MC, FF Number) that has become inactive or has been revoked by the FMCSA. An inactive authority means you cannot legally operate, resulting in costly downtime for your business. Common causes for revocation include lapses in insurance coverage or a BOC-3 filing being removed from the authority.

What's Included:

• Diagnosis & Resolution – We advise you on the necessary steps to resolve underlying issues, such as obtaining insurance or filing a BOC-3, before we submit the application.

• Reinstatement Filing – We prepare and submit the official reinstatement application with the FMCSA on your behalf, including the fee paid to the FMCSA.

The FMCSA reinstatement process can be complex and time-consuming for those unfamiliar with the requirements. Our team ensures all paperwork is filed correctly and manages the process from start to finish, minimizing your downtime and getting your trucks moving again as quickly as possible.

Receiving a failed audit notification from the FMCSA and being placed Out-of-Service will bring your entire operation to a halt. A strong, comprehensive Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is the only path to getting your operating authority reinstated. Our specialists have successfully guided hundreds of carriers through this critical process, simplifying the requirements and getting their trucks back on the road as quickly as possible.

Our Comprehensive Service Includes:

• Complete CAP Development – We thoroughly analyze your failed audit report and develop a robust Corrective Action Plan that directly addresses each violation with effective, long-term solutions.

• Custom Safety Policy Creation – Your CAP will be supported by professionally written safety policies and procedures that demonstrate your renewed commitment to compliance and safety management.

• Expert Strategy for Approval – With years of experience, we know exactly what the FMCSA is looking for. We work diligently to create a plan that meets their stringent requirements and is structured for approval.

• Expedited Timeline Management – You don't have to wait 30 days to act. We can prepare and submit your CAP for approval during your mandatory Out-of-Service period, ensuring you are ready to operate the moment your reinstatement is effective.

Get Your Operating Authority Reinstated. Don't navigate this complex and time-sensitive process alone. The quality of your Corrective Action Plan is the single most important factor in restoring your ability to operate. Let our expertise work for you.

To get started, simply send us a copy of your 'Failed Audit Letter’ from the FMCSA. We will review it within one business day and contact you to outline a plan of action and provide a final quote for your custom CAP. Quotes start at $450.00 but will vary based on the violations listed on your failed audit letter.

If you operate a commercial vehicle within the state of California, you are required by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to obtain a CA Number. This unique Carrier Identification Number is mandatory for nearly all commercial carriers who are both picking up & dropping off in California—regardless of whether your company is based in-state or out-of-state—and must be displayed on your vehicle. The CA Number allows the CHP to track your safety and vehicle inspection records within the state.

What's Included:

Operate Legally in California. Don't risk fines or being placed out-of-service at a California weigh station. Let our compliance experts secure your CA Number quickly and correctly, ensuring your operations in the Golden State are fully compliant with CHP regulations.

In addition to a CA Number from the CHP, most motor carriers transporting property in California must obtain a Motor Carrier Permit (MCP) from the DMV. While the CA Number tracks safety, the MCP is issued by the DMV to verify that your company meets the state's strict insurance requirements, including public liability and workers' compensation coverage. This permit is the final step required for all for-hire carriers to operate legally in California.

What's Included:

• Prerequisite Verification – We first ensure you have the required CA Number from the CHP, as it is a mandatory prerequisite for the MCP application.

• Complete DMV Application – We handle the entire application process with the California DMV, ensuring all forms are filled out correctly with your carrier and insurance information to prevent rejections.

• Insurance Verification Coordination – The most critical part of the MCP application is insurance. We work with you and your insurance provider to ensure the correct certificates and proof of coverage are submitted to the DMV.

• Permit Issuance & Delivery – Once the DMV approves your application and verifies your insurance, we deliver your official Motor Carrier Permit document.

• Renewal Reminders – The MCP must be renewed. We will send you a proactive reminder before your expiration date to ensure you never have a lapse in your authority to operate in California.

The Final Step for California Operations. Operating without a valid MCP can lead to vehicle impoundment and substantial fines. Let our experts manage your MCP application to ensure your business is fully licensed and insured.
