Trucking questions
Do I need a USDOT number and an MC number?
Most commercial trucks that cross state lines need a USDOT number, and for-hire carriers hauling regulated freight across state lines also need operating authority (an MC number). California also requires a USDOT number for many carriers that only operate in the state. We'll confirm exactly what you need.
What insurance do I need for my own authority?
At a minimum, primary auto liability at the limits required for what you haul, with the filing made to the FMCSA. Most shippers and brokers also require cargo coverage.
I'm leased onto a carrier. What do I need?
The carrier usually provides primary liability while you're under dispatch. You'll typically need non-trucking liability and physical damage for your own truck.
How long does it take to get my authority?
After you apply, the FMCSA reviews your application and there's a waiting period before the authority becomes active. Your insurance filing and BOC-3 must be on file first. We file both right away so nothing holds you up.
Are government fees included?
Government filing fees are separate and paid to the agency. We'll tell you every fee up front before we file. RG Insurance is not affiliated with the FMCSA or USDOT.
