It takes a minimum of five to seven weeks to complete the state and federal approval process. USDOT and FMCSA have very detailed guidelines and rules for approving trucking authority. Trust us with your trucking authority filling and we'll  take away the uncertainties, simple as that. 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety administration (FMCSA) issues your MC number which allows you to cross state lines moving freight in a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV).  The Department of Transportation (DOT) issues your DOT number which is used to track your trucking business.  This number is also used to track your safety rating and registers your drivers and trucks with the FMCSA. 

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates the trucking industry in the United States. FMCSA roles and purpose is to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA creates rules and regulations that carriers and CMV drivers must adhere to when operating a CMV. 

Department of Transportation enforces the rules and regulations FMCSA sets. DOT is responsible for doing the foot work, inspecting CMV's, issuing violations, citation, and fines to those who are non complaint. DOT ensures that a carrier or a driver are following the FMCSA guidelines. 

Once you obtain your trucking authority you are able to haul freight of all kinds. Some freight requires endorsements and special licensing to haul legally and safety. An example would be hazardous freight, to haul the driver of the CMV must have a HAZMAT endorsement. 

No. You do not have to yourself have a CDL to start a trucking company or obtain trucking authority. However, the driver you hire to drive your CMV does have to have a commercial driver license to be hired, haul freight and be employed as professional driver.
