If you're thinking of starting a new trucking company, one of the first steps is obtaining your MC and DOT authority. This process can be time-consuming and complex, but with the right guidance, it can be made easier. In this blog post, we'll discuss how to open a new MC and DOT authority and how MS Safety Partners LLC can help.

Step 1: Determine the Type of Authority You Need

The first step in obtaining your MC and DOT authority is to determine the type of authority you need. The type of authority required depends on the type of transportation services you will provide. For instance, if you plan to transport passengers, you will need passenger carrier authority, while if you plan to transport goods, you will need freight authority.

Step 2: Register with the FMCSA

Once you've determined the type of authority you need, the next step is to register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This involves completing the necessary forms and paying the required fees. The FMCSA will review your application and issue your MC and DOT authority once approved.

Step 3: Obtain Insurance and Other Permits

Before you can begin operating your trucking company, you'll need to obtain insurance and other permits. Insurance is required by law, and you'll need to provide proof of insurance to the FMCSA before your authority is activated. Additionally, you may need to obtain permits for operating in certain states, such as New York.
