Legal Steps
The following are the steps you need to take to cross State lines:
-
File for the Authority with the FMCSA (formerly Federal Highway Administration).
-
File the MCS 150 and the MCS 150 A (for the US DOT number) with the U.S. DOT in Washington D.C.
-
In about one week the MC number and the U.S. DOT number will be issued. For the MC number to become active the following will need to be done:
-
Have your insurance agent request that the liability (BMC 91X), cargo (BMC 34), bond (BMC 84), or trust fund (BMC 85) for a broker, be filed.
-
Have the Process Agents filed. Please remember that all applicants must go through a 10-day protest period. The protest starts the day the MC # is posted in the Federal Register.
-
Once Insurance and Process Agents are on file, the Authority will be mailed to you.
-
While waiting on Authority to be granted, we can file for the IFTA and the Road and Mileage Tax Credentials for KY, NM, NY and OR.
