To operate as an interstate for-hire motor carrier, broker, or freight forwarder, you need more than just a USDOT number—you need active Operating Authority from the FMCSA. This authority, identified by your MC, MX, or FF number, is your legal license to transport goods or arrange transportation across state lines. It is the most critical step in launching your transportation business.
What's Included:
Authority Type Consultation – We consult with you to determine the exact type of Operating Authority your business requires (e.g., Motor Carrier of Property, Broker of Property, Freight Forwarder, etc.).
Complete Application Filing – We manage the entire OP-1 application process with the FMCSA, ensuring your information is filed accurately to avoid costly delays or rejection.
MC/MX/FF Number Issuance – Our service secures your assigned docket number (MC, MX, or FF) from the FMCSA, which serves as your unique identifier for your authority.
Insurance Requirement Guidance – We provide clear guidance on the specific insurance policies (e.g., liability, cargo) and coverage amounts you must obtain to get your new authority activated.
Activation Status Monitoring – After filing, we monitor your application through the mandatory 21-day public vetting period and confirm once your insurance and BOC-3 are posted and your authority is officially made 'Active'.
Start Your Business on the Right Foot. The Operating Authority application is complex, and simple mistakes can lead to major delays in starting your operations. Let our experts handle this foundational process correctly from the start, ensuring your path to getting an active authority is as smooth and efficient as possible.
