Authority Activation Timeline: How We Get Your DOT & MC Authority Approved Fast
A clear 4-step FMCSA-compliant process that gets your authority active, your filings submitted correctly, and your hotshot business ready to run loads legally.
File Your DOT Number
We submit your DOT Number application, classify your operation type correctly, and ensure your new motor carrier profile meets FMCSA safety and compliance standards.
This prevents delays, mismatched classifications, and compliance flags during the New Entrant Audit.
Submit Your MC Authority
We complete and submit your MC Authority (OP-1) with the correct freight categories, operation type, and carrier classifications.
This starts the official 21-day FMCSA authority activation countdown.
File BOC-3 & Start Insurance Setup
Your BOC-3 (Process Agent Filing) is submitted immediately, and we coordinate your insurance filings (Form MCS-90, BMC-91X, etc.) to ensure FMCSA receives them without delays.
Correct filings dramatically reduce the risk of authority cancellations or activation resets.
FMCSA Approval & Authority Activation
Once insurance is filed and the FMCSA completes its review, your DOT & MC authority becomes fully active.
We walk you through safety requirements, permit needs, and compliance setup so you can begin hauling loads immediately — with confidence and zero guesswork.
We manage the entire authority process for you — no guesswork, no delays, no missed steps.
