Free DOT Registration (with Motor Carrier Authority)

Companies that transport passengers or federally regulated commodities for a fee in interstate commerce need an MC number. This includes brokers and freight forwarders.

The FMCSA has a required $300 application fee and 25-day vetting period. Depending on the type of authority, specific insurance and financial requirements may need to be met.

The $300 fee is for the Motor Carrier Application. The DOT Application is at no cost.
