MC Authorities
What Is MC Authority?
MC Authority (Motor Carrier Authority) is a legal authorization issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) that allows a company to operate as a for-hire motor carrier in the United States.
If your business transports goods or passengers across state lines for compensation, MC Authority is required by law.
This authorization applies to businesses such as:
Freight carriers
Trucking companies
Brokers and freight forwarders
Passenger transportation services
Without active MC Authority, a company cannot legally operate in interstate commerce.
