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.

What Is the Cost for Obtaining Operating Authority/Trucking Authority?

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 processes 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.

Compliance for Owner Operator Trucking Insurance Requirements

That’s because the US government will start to recognize that your business is stable. Your premium refers to the federal motor carrier filings mandate of minimum coverage. That figure is $750,000. Did you establish your trucking company as an LLC? If so, Owner Operator trucking insurance will give you an extra level of protection in the home state the company is in.
