Operating a motor carrier company across state lines requires not just skill and determination but also the right credentials. The cornerstone of these credentials is the Operating Authority, symbolized by an MC Number, which delineates the scope of your operations and the types of cargo you're permitted to haul.
Why Operating Authority is Essential
Engaging in interstate commerce isn't as simple as hitting the road. It mandates securing the appropriate Operating Authority, alongside a DOT number, to legally transport passengers or federally-regulated commodities for hire. This MC Number is your ticket to compliance, ensuring your operations are recognized and regulated under federal law.

When Do You Need an MC Number?
An MC Number becomes indispensable under two primary circumstances:
Transportation of Passengers: If your business involves moving people across state lines for compensation, whether directly or indirectly.
