Description

This package includes the following: 

Operating Authority:

• Per FMCSA: If a sole proprietor owner/operator submits personal information for registration purposes to obtain a USDOT Number or Operating Authority, this information will be publicly available on FMCSA Web sites. This published information may include but is not limited to, the sole proprietor owner/operator’s home address, telephone number, and e-mail address when the home contact information also serves as the business contact information.
• Depending upon the type of business operation (Motor Carrier, Broker, Freight Forwarder, Shipper, Vehicle Registrant, and Cargo Tank Facility) and what will be transported (property, hazardous materials, and passengers), companies may be required to register for both Interstate Operating Authority (Form OP-1 series or Form OP-2) and USDOT Number (Form MCS-150 series). The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enforces compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs), which govern safety and financial responsibility. FMCSA’s registration requirements reflect the focus on both concerns.
