    An MC number is NOT an operating authority

    Here is the info taken off of the FMCSA website below

    Help me Register

    The step-by-step registration guide helps you:
    • Determine if you need a USDOT Number, Operating Authority (MC Number), Hazardous Materials Safety Permit, or Cargo Tank (CT) Number
    • Find out what forms and processes you need to complete
    • Determine what costs are involved
    • Find out which regulations apply to you
    • Fill out online forms
    Start the Step-by-Step Registration Guide

    I might be confused though so can you please provide the link to where you get your Operating authority from.

    thanks,
    Andrew

    The only thing you cannot do yourself is the BOC 3 filing.

    Never heard of such a thing. STB usually deals with railroads. Getting your own authority is very, very easy to do all by yourself and only costs $300 for the DOT plus a process agent to file the BOC-3.......and of course the insurance, the most costly part of it all.
