Can a MC number be reactivated or sold?

Yes

 

It's worth the exact same $300 a new one would cost you if it has no good contract freight and/or equipment with it. No-one cares how old an MC number is.

 

I’ve been turned down three times by brokers wanting more age on authority since I started three weeks ago. I always found a good paying load within a few minutes after that. No sweat.

I even had a broker tell me they needed 90 days then proceed to work with me anyway because they needed the load moved.

Like @rollin coal said, it would be valuable only if it included your customer contacts and/or your established business and equipment.

 

In that case I think we’re slowly closing in on putting an actual cash value of $0 on these numbers.

Who knows.. may be worth advertising them for $5-10k. Then just talk some young, dumb wannabe entrepreneur into their worth.

There’s plenty of them who post here.

 

In the classified section of this forum there's usually 1 or 2 people a month trying to buy old MC numbers. So the suckers are out there for sure. Maybe post your MC for sale in the classifieds and see what happens.
