#3. DOT Numbers and MC Authority
Big step #2 of starting a trucking company, after setting up your business, is applying for your
DOT Number and MC Number, aka Operating Authority. You can't do much in trucking without
one or both of these numbers. How do you know which one you need or if you need them at all?
My buddy Tyler from Motorcarrier HQ and I cover all the basics in this episode.
Here are some of subjects we discuss in detail:
- DOT Number
- Drug and Alcohol
- New York
Most for hire trucking companies will need to apply for an MC Number in order to get their
operating authority. For your planning purposes, keep in mind it takes at least 21 days from the
day you apply and are issued your numbers, until you will legally be able to cross state lines as a
for hire trucking company. Once you do apply, the contact info you provide becomes public and
you'll start to receive a ton of solicitations for everything from compliance companies to
factoring and insurance. Watch out for snakes in the grass that try to take advantage of you.
There are a lot of shady companies, especially ones who try to make you think they are the
FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
Every situation is different, what licenses and hoops you have to jump through might be different
than what your friend had to do. If you have any questions you can always talk to one of the
experts at motorcarrierhq.com, heck you might even get to talk to Tyler. They will talk to you
about your specific situation, absolutely no obligation. You can learn more by clicking here.
