? How long does it take to get my trucking authority?
Your USDOT shows as active right away. Your MC number takes 21 days atleast and requires insurance in order to be active. You may still need additional permits to operate legally depending on your state.
? Do I need a truck before you file for my MC number or USDOT number?
No, you do not need a truck in order for us to file for your MC number and USDOT number. You do need insurance on file for your MC number to be activated. It can be good to file for your MC number before you get your truck to get through the vetting period for the MC number as soon as possible.
? What permits do trucking companies need to operate legally?
Trucking companies need to at least obtain an USDOT number from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Trucking companies may also need state-specific permits. We can build you a custom trucking package based on your company's operations and state.
? Are there any fees associated with obtaining trucking permits?
Yes, there are fees associated with obtaining trucking permits, including application fees, annual renewal fees, and state-specific fees. When we send you a quote, the price you see is the price you pay for the permits quoted. We do not tack on extra hidden fees.
? How long does starting a trucking company take?
The time it takes to receive all your trucking permits can vary depending on the type of permits and the state in which you are operating. It can be as quick as one week to as long as one month depending on which permits you need. We can give you a more accurate estimate once we determine which permits you need.
? Are there any requirements for trucking companies to maintain their permits?
Yes, trucking companies are required to comply with federal and state regulations, such as meeting insurance requirements, maintaining accurate records, and performing regular safety audits. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties or the loss of operating authority. Our service, My Trucking Manager, helps renew your trucking permits and helps you stay in compliance.
? Do I have to get a trucking authority package?
Our trucking authority packages are designed to make it easier for you to get ALL the permits you need to be legal. However, if you already have a couple of permits, we can make a package for the remaining permits you need to be legal.
? Can I get individual permits?
Yes. If you already have a few permits yourself and just need certain individual trucking permits, we can help get those permits for you.
