What is an MC Number?

An MC number, or Motor Carrier number, is a unique identifier issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It grants authority for carriers to engage in interstate commerce, whether transporting goods or passengers. Trucking companies based in Florida that plan to operate beyond state lines must secure this authority to comply with federal regulations. For local (intrastate) carriers, an MC number is typically unnecessary unless transporting exempt commodities across state borders.

Why Florida Trucking Companies Need an MC Number

Florida’s trucking industry is vital to the state’s economy, facilitating the movement of agricultural products, consumer goods, and construction materials. With Florida serving as a major gateway for international trade via its seaports, trucking companies often engage in interstate and cross-border commerce. Having an MC number ensures your business can participate in these opportunities while adhering to legal requirements.

Process to get an MC Number in Florida

The process involves applying through the FMCSA’s Unified Registration System (URS). To complete the process, you’ll need:

 

    • Proof of liability insurance (minimum coverage depends on cargo type).

    • A BOC-3 filing (designation of a process agent in each operating state).

    • Compliance with drug and alcohol testing programs.

 

There’s a mandatory 21-day waiting period after submission, during which USA Truck Permits helps ensure you meet all other FMCSA requirements to avoid delays. Our team also helps obtain other required permits to be fully legal with all government agencies.

Benefits of Choosing USA Truck Permits

Handling your MC number application alone can be complex and time-consuming. Our team manages everything, from document preparation to filing, so you can focus on growing your business. We also offer additional services, such as IFTA and UCR registration, to support your long-term compliance needs.
