    $300 for a new one. An old one without any actual contracts of real value is worthless or not worth more than $300 but there are suckers born every minute. Hard to believe people still trying to buy old ones.

    Nope we cant. It isnt the # that makes the company. It is the interface between the steering wheel and seat.

    A MC # that's a couple years old with a clean csa score is worth more then the $300 to start from scratch. The savings in insurance alone is worth something.

    Really? OK then throw your money away for nothing then. MC #'s are obsolete and the only people who ever paid more than $300 for one were suckers anyway. Did you know if you registered a new one tomorrow it would be a lower number than a 20 year old MC number? Yep, they went back to zero again and started over...

    You're not buying the low number, it's about the history and that it has a few years of aging. Strictly for insurance reasons and some direct shippers require an MC that's been active for 24+ months.

    Some brokers also don't load mc's newer than certain number. Happened to me few times,my MC starts with 9, would call on a load and broker would say they don't load mc's starting with 9, only 8 and lower. Heck even on Dat, when you search for trucks, there is an option to avoid showing new Mc's IMG_20170207_235950.jpg
