AUTHORITY
Get Your Authority.
Keep Your Authority.
Anyone can file paperwork. I build authorities that survive — correct filings, insurance that makes sense, and a compliance framework from day one. And before any of it, an honest conversation about whether you're actually ready.

Everything Your Authority Needs
One setup. Zero loose ends.
Most new carriers get shut down by what they didn't know was required. Here's everything I handle — filed correctly, in the right order.
MC & USDOT Numbers
Your operating authority filed correctly the first time — no rejected applications, no wasted weeks.
BOC-3 Process Agents
Legal process agents designated in every state, filed and confirmed before your authority can activate.
UCR Registration
Unified Carrier Registration handled and renewed on schedule — one missed year can park your truck.
IFTA Setup
Fuel tax accounts opened right, so quarterly filings don't become a surprise audit later.
Insurance Guidance
What coverage you actually need, what brokers require, and how to avoid overpaying as a new authority.
Compliance Framework
Drug & alcohol consortium, driver qualification files, ELD setup — the systems FMCSA expects from day one.
How It Works
The process — starting with the truth.
01
The Honest Conversation
Before I file anything, we talk about whether you're actually ready — your money, your truck plan, your timeline. If authority isn't the right move yet, I'll tell you. That honesty is the service.
02
Filings Done Right
MC, USDOT, BOC-3, UCR, IFTA — submitted correctly, tracked daily, and walked through the 21-day protest period so you know exactly where you stand.
03
Compliance From Day One
Drug & alcohol consortium enrollment, driver files, ELD, insurance placement — the framework that keeps new authorities out of trouble in their first audit window.
04
Launch With Support
Your authority goes active and you're not alone. You know what loads to run, what brokers to avoid, and you have someone to call when the first problem shows up.
Straight Answers
Questions every new carrier asks.
The FMCSA grant itself typically takes 3–4 weeks including the 21-day protest period. With insurance placement and BOC-3 filing, plan for about 4–6 weeks from filing to running loads — and I keep you updated at every stage.
Expect the FMCSA registration fee, BOC-3, UCR, and your biggest cost — insurance, which varies by your record, truck, and state. On our first call I give you a realistic all-in number for YOUR situation before you spend a dollar.
In most cases, yes — your authority should be built on the right business structure from the start. If you don't have one yet, I'll walk you through what to set up and in what order.
That's where most new carriers struggle — and where I don't disappear. Compliance, load strategy, broker vetting: you can add my dispatch or back-office support, or run solo with the framework we built.
Authority is step one. Running it is the real work.
Once you're active, I can find your loads, negotiate your rates, and run your back office while you drive — the same support behind a fleet that grossed $3.8M in one year.
