"I went from owner-operator to 4 trucks. They handled USDOT, MC, IRP for the original plus the new trucks, and IFTA every quarter. I drive; they file."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

USDOT vs MC number?
USDOT is the safety registration; every commercial vehicle in interstate commerce needs one. MC (Motor Carrier) is the operating authority; required for for-hire interstate carriers (not private fleets).
How long does MC authority take?
Typically 21 days from filing to approval. Faster authorities (like household goods) take longer.
What is IRP?
International Registration Plan. Lets a truck registered in your base state operate across all 48 contiguous states + DC + 10 Canadian provinces. Required for trucks over 26,000 lbs operating in multiple states.
What is IFTA?
International Fuel Tax Agreement. Quarterly tax filing where you report miles and fuel by jurisdiction. Eliminates the need to buy fuel permits state by state.
What is UCR?
Unified Carrier Registration. Annual fee for interstate carriers based on fleet size. Many states require UCR enrollment.
Insurance minimums?
General freight: $750,000. Household goods: $1M. Hazmat: $5M. Some shippers require higher.
Owner-operator vs lease-on?
Owner-operator has own authority. Lease-on uses a larger carrier authority. We handle both setups; the filings differ.
Freight broker?
Different authority (Property Broker). Requires BMC-84 surety bond or BMC-85 trust. We file the broker authority.
Multi-state taxes?
IFTA handles fuel tax across states. Apportioned IRP plates handle registration. Income tax in your base state.

How it works

How we deliver, end-to-end.

Four-step path from request to confirmation. State and IRS turnaround varies; our steps run in parallel where possible to compress the timeline.

1

Intake + scope

You tell us what you need through a short intake form (or a call for complex matters). We confirm scope, surface any gating issues (deadlines, missing documents, entity status), and quote any state fees that pass through at cost.

2

Prepare + verify

Our specialists draft the filing, verify entity details against state databases, run internal QA, and route any items needing your sign-off. You see drafts before anything gets submitted.

3

File with the authority

We submit directly to the state Secretary of State, FinCEN, IRS, USPTO, or whichever authority your filing requires. We pay state fees at cost and track the submission identifier in your account.

4

Confirmation + vault

Stamped certificate, IRS notice, or filing receipt arrives in your SOC 2 encrypted document vault the moment we receive it. Next filing deadline auto-added to your compliance calendar where applicable.
