If you are a Trucking Company and want to cross State lines, you are required to have a Trucking Authority ( MC Authority).

There  are 2 types of Authorities, Common & Contract. There is a big  difference between the 2 and we encourage our customer's toward the  Common because there are no restrictions and there has been talk of the  the FMCSA getting rid of the contract authority. ICC MC and MC Authority  as the same thing. You will be issued a US DOT when your MC Authority is  filed. Also, the new law is that every driver must have an ELD (  electronic logging device ) unless you are in the guidelines to be  exempt.

Here is the difference between Common & Contract Authority

Common Carrier Authority:
A  Common Carrier provides "For-Hire* truck transportation" to the general  public. A Common Carrier must file both Liability insurance as well as  Cargo Insurance.

Contract Carrier Authority:
A  Contract Carrier provides "for-hire truck transportation" to specific,  individual shippers, based on contracts. They must file only Liability  Insurance

BOC3 Legal Process Agents is a required filing on your Authority, which we already include in our price.

You will also need a US DOT approved Drug & Alcohol Program. Our plan is only $10/mo per driver

​

If you would like to file your authority, just complete the application below. 

In  accordance with DOT requirements of 49 CFR PART 382 & 49 CFR PART  40, your company may be required to be enrolled in a Drug & Alcohol  Program

The  Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and the Department  of Transportation (US DOT), requires that persons subject to the  commercial driver's license (CDL) requirements and their employers  follow drug and alcohol testing rules. These rules include procedures  for testing, frequency of tests, and substance tested for.

• Civic organizations (disabled veteran transport, boy/girl scouts, etc)

DRIVERS
Even  though it is the responsibility of the employer to provide you with  information on drug and alcohol testing programs, Ultimately it is still  your responsibility to obey all rules and regulation.

EMPLOYERS
As  an employer, you have a responsibility to implement and conduct drug  and alcohol testing programs. Learn about drug and alcohol rules and how  they affect your business here.

EMPLOYER WHO IS ALSO THE DRIVER
An  employer who employs himself/herself as a driver must comply with  requirements of 49 CFR Part 382 that apply to both  employers and drivers.

 A Trucking authority requires minimum liability insurance, set by the FMCSA, to be at least $750,000 for non-hazardous loads and up to $5 million for hazardous materials. The amount required depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the type of cargo hauled. Once insurance is obtained, the proof of insurance, often with the BMC-91 filing is sent to the FMCSA in order to activate your Authority. Your Authority will not activate without insurance.

We have insurance contacts if you need help, just send us an email or give us a call.

We do not do plates and we do not reccomend you paying someone to do them. We have seen people have serious problems with paying someone to get them for them for them. Some are being charged way too much, some do not receive them and some have also dealt with plates being held for additional fees. We believe you are best off obtaining these on your own. 

IRS 2290 is basically another tax

UCR is another fees for the States

The IRS 2290 & the UCR can be found on our online store under "shop"

Depending on what States you will be traveling through, there is a few States that require permits to drive through them.

These States are,

Oregon (can be obtained at the border)

 Factoring (quick pay)
Factoring your invoices is a great way to make sure you keep money flowing to your bank account.

Why Factor?
Keeps money flowing into your account
The factoring company buys the invoice from you and they chase the money
You do not need to spend time doing collections on money owed
Free credit checks on the Companies you are working with
Some have discounts and fuel cards

You  figure Brokers have 30 days to pay you. So if you are out running, will  you be able to afford to wait 30 days for each Broker to pay? Most  trucking companies don't have that kind of fuel money just sitting in  the bank, so factoring gets them paid fast.

Factoring is simple.  You check the companies credit that you are about to obtain the load  with, book the load, deliver and send the paperwork to the factoring company and your money is in the bank 24-48 hours minus their fee.
