What it entails

Every filing, in the right order

Getting authority wrong costs months: rejected filings, lapsed insurance, vetting holds. We run the sequence we have run 200+ times — entity check, MC/DOT application, BOC-3 process agents, UCR registration, insurance coordination and the drug & alcohol clearinghouse setup.

You get a single checklist, plain-English status updates, and a dispatcher ready to book your first load the day your authority goes active.

  • MC & DOT numbers — FMCSA applications filed correctly the first time.
  • BOC-3 & UCR — process agents in all 50 states plus unified carrier registration.
  • Insurance coordination — we work with your agent to get filings accepted fast.
  • Compliance stack — clearinghouse, ELD guidance, driver qualification files.

Authority questions, answered

FMCSA requires a 21-day vetting period after filing, so plan on 21–28 days total. We use the waiting time to pre-file broker packets so you book freight on day one.

Insurance premiums are separate and paid to your insurer, but our coordination — filings, certificates, broker proof — is included until everything shows accepted.

Every new authority faces an audit within 12 months. We set up your DQ files, logs and maintenance records from day one so the audit is routine.
