Start your own authority the right way.
Going independent means more control over your loads and your rate — but only if your authority is set up correctly from day one. We handle the full application so nothing comes back rejected.
What this covers
New authority setup is the process of registering your business with the FMCSA as a motor carrier — it's what lets you legally haul freight under your own name instead of leasing on to someone else's authority.
We prepare and file your USDOT number application, your MC number (operating authority) application, and the BOC-3 process agent designation that has to be on file before the FMCSA will activate you.
Who this is for
Owner-operators leaving a carrier to run their own authority, and new trucking companies registering their first truck. Most clients are active within 3–4 weeks of the FMCSA's standard processing window, once every form is filed cleanly.
What can go wrong without help
A mismatched business name between your state filing and your FMCSA application, a missing BOC-3, or an incomplete Unified Registration System (URS) form are the most common reasons a new authority gets delayed or rejected. We check each of these before anything is submitted.
