What types of authority are required?
  • Various types of authority apply to carriers that transport property or passengers for compensation, along with brokers and freight forwarders.

Carriers that transport property or passengers for compensation must acquire a certain type of for-hire authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which includes financial responsibility requirements. Brokers and freight forwarders also must register with the FMCSA, as well as maintaining financial responsibility and observing regulations for each type of authority.
