Permits and Registrations
Having the correct permits and registrations is a key step in operating a successful motor carrier.
Department of Transportation Number
USDOT Numbers are used to identify and monitor motor carriers. They are required for all interstate carriers, most intrastate carriers and those who require a hazmat placard.
Unified Carrier Registration
A Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is an annual fee required for all carriers who cross state lines.

MCS-150 Biennial Update
The MCS-150 update ensures the information associated with your DOT# is up to date. All motor carriers are required to file this update every two years.
Operating Authority
Operating Authority describes the type of carrier you are and the kind of work you do. It is required for all for-hire carriers, as well as those who transport passengers or federally-regulated commodities.
Blanket of Coverage
A Blanket of Coverage assigns a person or entity to receive legal papers on your behalf in every state you operate. It is required for all for-hire, interstate carriers.
Hazardous Materials Permits
A Hazardous Materials Safety Permit is required if you’re transporting radioactive materials, explosives, “toxic by inhalation materials,” or methane.
Oversized/Overload Permits
If your vehicle exceeds the legal size or weight limits of the state you’re traveling through, you will need an oversize/overweight permit.
