DOT Authority Setup — Done Properly From the Start
If you’re planning to run loads across the US border, you need US operating authority in place before your trucks cross. It’s not just paperwork — it needs to be done in the right order, with the right admin structure behind it. We help new carriers navigate the setup process so you can move forward without delays or gaps.
What We Help With
- DOT number and MC authority application through FMCSA
- UCR (Unified Carrier Registration) — required annually
- BOC-3 process agent filing
- Organizing the required information and carrier packet
- DOT compliance audit prep and support
Why It Matters: If this step is rushed or incomplete, it delays your start and creates avoidable compliance issues down the road. We’ve been through this process from both sides — setting up authority for new carriers and dealing with what happens when the paperwork wasn’t done right the first time.
DOT Audit Support: If you’ve received an audit notice — or you want to make sure your records are in order before one shows up — we’ll review what you have, identify what’s missing, and help you get organized before someone else does it for you.
Pricing
- DOT/MC authority setup — $600
- DOT audit prep and support — $800
Important Note: We handle the admin and paperwork side of the setup process. For specialized legal, insurance, or regulatory advice beyond admin support, you’ll want the appropriate professional in your corner.
