For-hire carrier authority - Oklahoma

Intrastate

Carriers (including household goods carriers) must obtain a license from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). The initial filing fee for each type of carrier is $100. Household goods carriers need two permits if transporting household goods and other types of freight intrastate. The license is issued for one year and renewed annually at $50. A per vehicle fee of $7 is also renewed annually. Commercial vehicles of any weight are subject to authority requirements.

Every intrastate motor carrier must possess a current OCC Chapter 30 rule book. Rule books are available at a cost of $10 per rule book (notices of rule changes will be provided), or you may download the document from the OCC website at www.occeweb.com/rules/rulestxt.htm
