How to Get an MC Number
Get Your MC Number Fast — Start Your Own Trucking Authority Today!
Want to start hauling freight across state lines under your own name? You need an MC Number, and FCCR is here to help you get it done right, without the stress.
Filing for an MC Number through the FMCSA involves several critical steps, including submitting the correct OP-1 form, obtaining a USDOT Number, filing a BOC-3, securing the proper level of insurance, and paying the associated fees. Even one mistake or delay in this process can result in rejections, delays in activation, or fines. It’s a system built for those familiar with federal compliance, not for first-time owner-operators trying to get on the road quickly.
What is an MC Number?
The FMCSA requires an MC Number for carriers who plan to operate across state lines or transport regulated commodities. It’s also known as Motor Carrier Authority or Interstate Operating Authority.

Why Do You Need an MC Number?
You need an MC Authority to operate your trucking business legally across state lines. This federal authorization ensures you comply with FMCSA regulations, safeguarding your operations from interruptions, costly fines, and potential legal issues. Without an MC Authority, you risk penalties, delays in operations, and restricted ability to transport goods interstate.
