Old authority, can we reinstate it?

How long does it normally take to reinstate MC and go active after getting boc3, insurance and paying $80?

 

4-6 daysafter all requirements are met.

Also, brokers that will not work with a new authority for 3-6 months will treat a reactivated authority the same way.

 

I'd qualify that as "some" brokers. I know that there are others, including my own company, who are perfectly willing to give new and re-activated authorities a shot.

 

I started a new authority before I even knew my old one could be reactivated, and I was getting insurance quotes from $19k-$26k, settled on the lowest one.

Then, found out about reactivation so I cancelled the new application and re-instated my old #'s. When I called my insurance guy and gave him the old DOT# my insurance went down to $13k. That was a good day.

 

My dad was able to re-activate his and he got out in 08. Re-instated in Dec 2017 and wasn't considered a new entrant. MC-600154 dot 959XXX
