Apply for your FMCSA MC authority without the stress.
We make sure your FMCSA application is double-checked for accuracy.
Before brokers and carriers can begin moving and brokering loads, it is essential to apply for an MC number from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and obtain their FMCSA broker license or FMCSA carrier registration. The FMCSA application process can take several weeks, and any errors or incomplete forms can lead to rejection.
With DAT Authority as your ally, you can bid farewell to concerns about rejected registrations or unnecessary delays. Our expert team ensures accurate and efficient handling of the FMCSA application process, allowing you to focus on your core operations with peace of mind.
Obtain the right type of FMCSA authority for your business.
Once the paperwork has been taken care of, check out DAT’s load board to start finding and posting loads.

"Some say it's simple to get your authority, and that you should save your money and do it yourself. Other people, including myself, are not sure where to even begin. I used a service provided by DAT to get my authority. It was important to me that it was done right the first time, by people who have done this before."
- Chad Boblett - Boblett Brothers Trucking
"They took me by the hand an led me through all of the diffiult and confusing steps to ensure that I started off on the right food. I cannot say it any clearer than these folks know what it's all about."

This includes all your federal application fees, your MC and USDOT number applications, your process agents, and your Unified Carrier Registration Agreement (UCRA).

The FMCSA authority application process includes selecting process agents (form BOC-3) — legal representatives who are able to receive summons on your behalf in each state where you plan to operate. In order to obtain their FMCSA broker authority, brokers also need a fund or bond of $75,000 or more to act as insurance. Some states and local municipalities may also require additional permits.
Whether you’re a broker or carrier, our teams specialize in handling all of the paperwork surrounding your FMCSA broker license, FMCSA carrier registration, or FMCSA authority application — including whatever local permits may apply to your business.
Please note that while we include the FMCSA application processing fee in our annual service charge, we currently do not pay for local registration fees.
