Get Your Operating Authority

What is Operating Authority?

Operating authority is permission from the government to haul loads commercially for hire. There are two main pieces of your operating authority: a USDOT Number and MC Number. You need your operating authority if:

  • You want to start your own trucking company
  • You want to become an owner operator
  • You want to become a broker

You’ll also need your BOC-3 process agent filing and make sure your company can pass a new entrant safety audit.

  • Give you peace of mind. Your business is unique, which is why we focus on doing the work right the first time. We believe in the work smarter not harder method, which means we take the time needed to get the paperwork filled out correctly, so you don’t have to worry about fines for mistakes in your paperwork.

What You Can Expect From Us

When you call Progressive Reporting, we can get your USDOT Number and MC Number the same day you apply. Just give us a call, and our coaches can help walk you through the necessary paperwork. We are happy to take the time to answer all your questions, not only about the FMCSA Registration process, but all that it takes to start and run a successful trucking company.

What Next?

Once we’ve filled out the application for your USDOT Number and MC Number, it takes a minimum of 21 days for your authority to become active. During that time, we can help you:

When your authority has become active, you’ll also need to prepare for the DOT New Entrant Safety Audit as part of FMCSA’s New Entrant Safety Assurance Program. We can help with that, too!

33,

I was looking online for some helping getting my Hotshot auto-hauling company started when I came across Progressive Reporting Agency.  I called several places, and they were competitively priced and I was impressed by their responsiveness and knowledge so I decided to go with them.  Over the years, I have worked with many different companies that provide similar services and Progressive Reporting is top notch.  They worked diligently to get me set up quickly and have always been eager to help, even after they completed the work I paid them for.

I saw a YouTube video for Progressive Reporting and all the services they offer, which happen to be all the services I was looking for in a one stop shop type deal. I’m glad I went with them. All the red tape you have to go through to apply for your own authority is nothing for these guys. They know what to do and when and where, no hassle or headache, they do it all for you. With Progressive Reporting helping me it was smooth and easy… If you’re looking for a company to help you with your trucking company, I highly recommend them.

I had a goal of starting my own trucking company for some time, but was nervous about all the regulations I couldn’t possibly know about. So when I came across the YouTube video explaining Progressive Reporting Agency’s process, I knew this was the company to go with. Tyler explained everything in appropriate detail and followed up with me when I had questions. I am very satisfied with the service and overall sense of caring that Progressive Reporting has shown me.

We would like to thank each and everyone for helping us get our business started. We have just passed our audit with DOT. NO VIOLATIONS!!!! Thank ya’ll so much for going above and beyond to help us. It’s very much appreciated.

- Greg F. – Azle, TX

We had no idea how to get our trucking company started. A friend referred us to Progressive Reporting Agency and they have been fantastic to work with. They broke everything down so we knew exactly what we needed to do and how much it was going to cost. Once we decided to move forward, they took care of everything and it was a smooth process. Now that we are going, the customer service continues to be great, they are always willing to help and educate me, no matter how many times I call. Thanks for being such an honest company.
