A Motor Carrier (MC) number is a federal certification issued by the FMCSA. Whether you’re a carrier or a broker, you’ll need an MC number to transport certain federally-regulated freight across state lines. MC number requirements aren’t always the same for every carrier and broker. Occasionally, truckers for certain types of cargo don’t need an MC number, but odds are you’ll need MC certification when you’re dealing in interstate freight transportation.
With DAT’s FMCSA MC lookup, you can identify the MC numbers of carriers who have used the DAT load board. From our database, you can search for carriers as soon as you get a call from someone who’s interested. With over 200,000 active and 100,000 inactive carriers in the DAT inventory, you can find crucial certification details like MC number, USDOT number, insurance certificates, and more.
MC number requirements vary for different professionals in the transportation industry. Brokers are almost always required to have an MC number in addition to a USDOT number, BOC-3 process agents, and financial assurance, like a surety bond or a trust fund. If you’re a carrier, you’ll probably need an MC number to transport federally-regulated freight across state lines, although some specialty carriers don’t need an MC number. If you’re unsure whether you need an MC number, you may need to contact the FMCSA.
MC numbers aren’t going away anytime soon. Although there was a piece of legislation in the works in 2015 to do away with MC numbers, the legislation has been tabled for several years. For carriers and brokers in today’s transportation industry, it’s almost a given that you’ll need an MC number for FMCSA authority. To gain visibility by potential business partners, make sure your MC information is up-to-date on DAT’s MC authority lookup.
