I previously got a USDOT number and MC number half a year ago but couldn't get finance and insurance approved in time. I finally purchased a truck and bought insurance but just realized I had to apply for application for authority. How long does that take after application submitted? It shows accepted, insurance OK Boc-3 OK but doesn't show when the operating authority would be active.

If another company wants to say it’s going to interfere with their business… to many companies not enough work, they’re gonna interfere.
