"Some say it's simple to get your authority, and that you should save your money and do it yourself. Other people, including myself, are not sure where to even begin. I used a service provided by DAT to get my authority. It was important to me that it was done right the first time, by people who have done this before."
- Chad Boblett - Boblett Brothers Trucking
"They took me by the hand an led me through all of the diffiult and confusing steps to ensure that I started off on the right food. I cannot say it any clearer than these folks know what it's all about."
- Gregg Knight, LTL Trucking
If you want to operate as a carrier, you need to know how to apply for motor carrier authority. First, you will need to secure an MC number from the FMCSA. Then, you’ll need to submit federal and state registration forms, secure BOC-3 process agents, and complete your Unified Carrier Registration (UCR). More paperwork might be required for transportation through certain states.
Instead of tracking down and filling out every application form on your own, DAT Authority offers expert assistance to make sure your application is complete and correct on the first try.
Whether you’re getting your trucking authority for the first time, or you’re looking to reinstate motor carrier authority, you’ll need to invest upfront. The cost of getting your MC number varies depending on the state where you live. You also need to pay registration fees for transportation in certain states, plus fees for other requirements, like insurance and BOC-3 process agents. For a flat rate starting at $549, DAT Authority helps to minimize errors and keep you from paying unnecessary fees in your application.
Carriers can’t just purchase motor carrier authority for sale, but DAT Authority can help streamline the process. By helping you to secure your motor carrier authority as efficiently as possible, DAT is an investment into your trucking business that can last a lifetime. With DAT Authority, you can rest assured that you’ve completed all the requirements to become a registered carrier.
