USDOT & MC Number Registration for Trucking
Preparation and electronic filing of applications with the FMCSA to obtain USDOT and MC numbers. We help trucking owners and transportation companies register their operations in full compliance with federal requirements
We provide full assistance with registering commercial transportation operations with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
If your business transports goods or passengers across U.S. state lines for commercial purposes, you may need to register for a USDOT Number, and for “for-hire” operations also obtain an MC Number from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
We provide administrative support and information guidance to help you complete every step quickly and confidently—without offering legal or tax services.
What We Do
• Determine whether your company requires only a USDOT Number or both a USDOT and MC Number.
• Prepare and submit all electronic applications to FMCSA.
• Provide a step-by-step roadmap for the next requirements: insurance, BOC-3 (process agent registration), Unified Carrier Registration (UCR), and biennial MCS-150 updates.
• Offer a roadmap for selecting the right insurance coverage to meet FMCSA standards.
• Guide you until your operating authority is fully activated.
