Our organization's ranked number one when it comes to trucking authority. We work with carriers in every US state. Our team helps ensure that they maintain compliance with the government. Now, let’s go ahead and assess the average trucking authority cost. Please have a look at Arbitration Program.
There's a specific FMCSA cost to secure each individual Operating Authority/trucking authority. It’s a one-time fee of $300. Keep in mind that separate filing fees must get submitted with your interstate authority application. These separate fees refer to the fees for every Authority that you seek. Here is an example.
Say that you need a Household Goods Authority and Passenger Authority. Do not make those requests at different times. Request both authorities at the same time. Since there are two to pay $300 fees, the total owed is $600.
It’s best to keep things simple by combining authority payments. Say that each authority has the same type or classification. (For example, common and contract carrier authorities for the property.) This means that you’ll only have to pay one fee.
Keep in mind that each filing fee is not refundable. The FMCSA has a $14 charge for processing any name change. There is also an $80 fee for requesting the reinstatement of any authority. (Assuming an authority has gotten revoked.) The official FMCSA website provides more information related to Operating Authority fees.
Use the FMCSA OP-1 Application to file for many different operating/trucking authorities. All you need to do is submit an OP-1 Application For Motor Property Carrier and Broker Authority form. Here are the five most common operating authorities that carriers need.
1. Motor Common Carrier of Property except for Household Goods.
2. Motor Contract Carrier of Property except for Household Goods.
3. Motor Contract Carrier of Household Goods.
4. Motor Common Carrier of Household Goods.
5. Broker of Property except for Household Goods.
Operating in independent trucking can carry quite a few costs. Plus, there’s also plenty of responsibilities and paperwork. A standard leasing service often takes care of those responsibilities. Let’s go over the major costs of securing trucking authority. Keep in mind that the costs are approximate and not definite when you start.
1. LLC registration/sole proprietor. The exact resources and cost vary by state. Its filing start often about $250 to $800 every year.
2. UCR: Unified Carrier Registration. This is a standard filing fee across the US of $76.
3. Process Agent Designation. It is $120 to file the BOC-3 form. You then have to pay $100 every year to the chosen agent.
4. There is a $300 USDOT filing service fee for FMCSA Permanent Authority.
5. Fees for an International Registration Plan. The cost of this plan varies. It depends on how many states your truckers will enter. The filing fee could range from $200 to $2,000.
6. Base plate fees. These fees vary based on the state. The cost could range from $275 to $1,000 every year.
7. USDOT application fee for Heavy use vehicle tax. This refers to IRS Form 2290. The cost ranges from $100 to $550 on an annual basis.
8. Vehicle inspection. This is $50 to $100 depending on your state.
9. The DOT alcohol and drug physical for carrier safety. This physical is $50 to $100 every 2 years.
Your trucking company doing the USDOT application might have to also pay state fuel and use taxes. It could also have to pay local costs, like parking rental by the hour fees. Once again, all the above figures are estimates. The cost of each estimate might change over time but for an accurate cost email us and let us know what you need.
