Much like our DOT Compliance Services, we offer a number of DOT Licensing Services to make your interaction with government authorities easy, fast, cost-effective, and with the least amount of stress as possible.
Our DOT Licensing Specialists will learn your operation so we can accurately set up and renew your required DOT authorities.
We offer a long list of licensing services and are always adding more to accommodate our clients, including obtaining DOT numbers, MC authorities, vehicle registration, UCR and so much more.
Starting your own trucking company is the biggest decision you have ever made. You need to make sure everything is completed correctly the first time.
For-hire and private haulers will need a DOT Number and an MC Authority and some may need multiple operating authorities depending on business plans.
Filing and renewing your licenses is an ongoing process that can become very cumbersome and time consuming.
Companies that operate commercial vehicles transporting passengers or hauling cargo in interstate commerce must be registered with the FMCSA and must have a USDOT Number.
In addition to drivers and DOT numbers, registering your vehicles is at the top of the list when getting your business started.
All motor carriers are required to file their fuel taxes quarterly. This can get very complicated if you are an interstate trucker. We can manage your IFTA Fuel Taxes for you.
Truckers with a vehicle that has a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more, are required to electronically file HVUT Form 2290.
The UCR requires individuals and companies that operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register their business with a participating state and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet.
Getting your company started requires an EIN and declaring your company as an LLC, S-Corp, etc. depending on company plans and tax filing purposes.
What do you need to do to start a trucking company?
Our PSM DOT Essentials Program is a program designed to keep motor carriers compliant with the basic DOT regulations that nearly all carriers must follow.
The PSM DOT Essentials Program can be utilized by companies of all types and sizes and is a budget-friendly option to manage exactly what you need to stay DOT compliant.
Proactive Safety Management (PSM) is the basis of our business and simply means that your company is working hard to be safe, compliant, and stay ahead of the FMCSA. All of our DOT Compliance Programs are based on this concept and include what you need to keep your DOT Licensing needs in order.
