🚚Registering your trucking business requires paying a $300 filing fee for MC and DOT numbers.
📝After registration, you will receive your DOT number immediately, while your MC number may take up to 21 days due to the protesting period.
💼Within 90 days of applying for operating authority, you must have insurance coverage of at least $1 million, a registered agent in each state you plan to operate in, and necessary certifications.
🚧Failure to meet the insurance and registered agent requirements within the specified timeframe may result in dismissal of your application, requiring you to reapply and pay the $300 fee again.
📝Completing the Unified Registration System (URS) application, providing accurate information about your business plans, and certifying compliance with regulations are essential steps in the process.
