A Motor Carrier (MC) Number is a unique identifier assigned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This number is part of the operating authority needed for carriers that transport goods or passengers for payment across state lines. Carriers that operate in interstate commerce must complete MC Number filing before starting operations.

About Our Motor Carrier (MC) Number Filing Services

 

We help carriers file for a new MC Number through the FMCSA’s Unified Registration System (URS). New applicants must complete their DOT and MC Number filings in one process. This includes submitting details about the type of cargo, the structure of the business, and other key items. We work with you from the start, helping you choose the correct type of operating authority.

​

The FMCSA assigns different authority types based on how your business moves goods or passengers. Choosing the wrong one may delay your approval or lead to added costs. We guide you through the process from the start to help avoid that.

​

For carriers with a DOT Number, we help file the correct OP-1 series form to request additional operating authority. This step applies to existing businesses that plan to expand their services or operate under a new model. We also help with the filing of required fees and the submission of supporting documents.

Benefits of Professional Motor Carrier (MC) Number Filing Services

 

Filing for an MC Number takes time and attention to detail. Mistakes can lead to long delays and extra costs. We help you avoid those problems!

​

• Accurate Business Classification: We help you choose the right authority for your operation. The FMCSA has different categories for goods, passengers, and brokers. Picking the wrong one can cause delays or rejections. We review your business setup and match it with the right category.

• Support With FMCSA Portal: FMCSA’s online system can be hard to use without help. We guide you through each part of the portal. We help you enter the right data and upload the correct files. This helps you avoid technical errors and missing items.

• Help With Insurance Submissions: After applying for an MC Number, you must file insurance with FMCSA. This step is required before receiving operating authority. We help you contact your insurance provider and submit the right forms. Filing the wrong forms can cause your application to stall. We help avoid that.

• Biennial Update Support: FMCSA rules require carriers to update their records every two years. This includes your business name, address, and operation status. We help you file the MCS-150 update on time. This keeps your DOT Number and MC Number active and up to date.
