What is the process to obtain authority?
  • Operating authority for carriers conducting for-hire operations can be achieved by an online registration process, which varies for entry-level and existing carriers.

For-hire carriers can acquire operating authority by a specific online registration process. For carriers just beginning operations, this involves submitting application Form MCSA-1 to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), along with an application fee, proof of required insurance, and a Designation of Process Agents (BOC-3). Carriers already registered with the FMCSA must submit Form OP-1.
