Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a DOT or MC number?
A USDOT number is typically issued the same day the application is submitted. MC numbers may take a few business days to activate, depending on FMCSA processing times.
Do I need a State DOT number if I already have a USDOT number?
Yes, if you operate exclusively within Texas or California, a state DOT number is required in addition to your USDOT number. Each state has its own requirements, and we can help you meet them.
What is the UCR, and do I need to file it every year?
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is a federal requirement for most carriers operating across state lines. It must be filed annually, and failing to do so can lead to penalties. We ensure your filing is accurate and up to date.
What’s included in DOT safety compliance support?
Our DOT compliance services include setting up driver qualification files, enrolling in mandatory drug and alcohol testing programs, ensuring your logs are compliant with hours-of-service rules, and preparing you for audits.
What happens if I fail the New Entrant Safety Audit?
Failing a New Entrant Safety Audit can result in your operating authority being revoked. We provide support to help you prepare all required documentation and correct any issues before the audit takes place.
Which permits do I need to operate across state lines?
If you're running interstate, you’ll likely need several permits depending on your operation. These can include IFTA (for fuel tax reporting), IRP (for apportioned license plates), UCR registration, and possibly trip or oversize permits depending on your routes and equipment. We’ll help determine exactly what you need based on where you operate and the type of freight you haul.
Can you help if I already started my DOT or MC application but got stuck?
Yes. Whether you made a mistake during the application or aren’t sure what step to take next, we can pick up where you left off. We’ll review your current status and help you complete the process correctly.
What if my authority was revoked—can you help reinstate it?
Absolutely. We assist with reinstatement filings and can help resolve the underlying issues that caused the revocation, such as missed filings, expired insurance, or audit failures. Our goal is to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Do you offer ongoing compliance management or is it just one-time help?
We offer both. If you only need help getting started, we’re happy to assist with that. But for companies looking for long-term support, we also offer ongoing compliance services to help manage filings, maintain safety records, and stay ready for inspections or audits.
