Thank you so much for your teaching and service; moreover, I would’ve paid $800 for someone else to file it. Oscar you saved me $500 and much more you gave me knowledge about fmcsa.
Hi Oscar My husband and I are starting this business together, do I have to list my husband under Business description or just my name and the DOT /MC will cover both of us?
I literally just finished applying, by following your step by step instructions… and got my DOT/MC within 10 minutes of submitting the application. It doesn’t get any better than that. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@danielstojmirski486 You can do both at the same time. You can also do the DOT now and the MC later. In this application it will ask you about interstate hauling, that is the route to get your MC # as a motor carrier.
I'm trying to do it right now. I'm at the last part where I have to register for fmcsa portal and I have to put a user ID. I tried to enter the one I was given like he did and it wouldn't let me proceed. I then tried making up another one and the "next" button was still not available for me. Any ideas on what to do?
Everyone is keeping all these resources to themselves or charging an arm, leg and first born to give you this information -But you provided detail step by step process for free! Thank you bro! God bless you!
I just got my DOT because of your video. This is the best video out here for someone just starting in the trucking business and wanting to do everything on their so they can to save money.
I want to thank you 250000 times (first years gross)!!! You have been a great part of me getting on my own. It’s been a year and things are going pretty good. Your video was easy to follow and the steps were clear and accurate. You are the man and thank you again💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Just wanted to say thank you because I just filled my application out by literally having the phone next to me watching this video so thank you very much I greatly appreciate it. 🙏
I was working on a new MC and forgot some steps. I pulled this video from my saved file and it help me with my issue. This video is excellent! THANKS AGAIN! IN 2022!
Ty 🥰...a lady was gonna charge me 2000 to do everything for me..but I looked on here an got it done..the way the economy is hew can afford that 😪 may god bless u for helping people 🙏
This is the best advice I heard so far. I'm waiting for my DOT/MC to become authorized so I've been just waiting and waiting. Now I'm going to be calling brokers and getting the carrier packet ready so once it's active I can hit the road running. Thanks for this info, definitely helps us all out!
Nice gilbert, you should check out Kevn Rutherford, this guy is the man on trucking 101 on the business side of things, has a free course and paid ones. Check out the free course, in no way do I get a commission from this, I just like the man's content. learn.letstruck.com/p/changing-lanes-without-crashing
Oscar, thank you for taking your time to make this video to help others. This video was extremely helpful to myself, and my company. You're awesome buddy, much appreciated! Happy Truckin!
Also I would like to thank you for getting me through the application, it was just like being in an online class and it helped me tremendously. YOU ROCK
Hey man thank you so much for this video. Although my business is for freight Broker your video really help me a lot to get started and better understanding of the application process. This was a lot of work on your part and all of us who find your video useful are forever thankful for your dedication to it. Kudos
Thanks for all that information. I was filling up wrong. An Spanish version of this video will be also a really good one for a lot of Florida Dump truck owners. Thanks again!
Had me scared for a moment..lol But the Rep contacted me and She was very profesional and apologise for the late response back. She getting all my document ready so i should be up and running in no time .. Thanks Truckers Authority ..
Dude, I've watched videos on here for the past 1-2 months and this is hands down the best video and your knowledge on this is incredible, I appreciate you, and I will be in contact.
Hello Oscar! Wish I had watched this video prior to setting up my authority, would have saved me time. I have told FMCSA employees that I wish all government agencies were as helpful as FMCSA... Great people to work with.
I just wanted to THANK YOU for this informative video. My compliance carrier said our application was completed perfectly and I told him it was Oscar ( I didn't take any credit lol) you walked me through the whole process and I'm forever grateful.
Thank you so much! I did something wrong on my application and it showed me as a freight broker at the end. Now, I’m filling out my MCS-150 and I definitely see where I went wrong. This was awesome!
@@truckersauthority Bud, your totally appreciated by many And as God says in the Quran .. "The reward for good deeds, will only be a Good reward (i.e. from God)" With that been said. My question is everything you mentioned also applicable for "HOT-SHOT TRUCKING" Meaning is the things to claim and check off the same as a semi that would use a flat-bed..?
Thank you so much for your guidance and your teaching. The understanding of compliance and structure was a very resourceful takeaway. This video met me right where I was at and gave so much insight and understanding that I would also pass along to others looking for the same path… God bless you and thank you again
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover freight broker training courses try Dalz Freight Discovery ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got great results with it.
very much appreciate you for this video!!!! I have needed help with this for almost a year and finally got all the information I needed. I followed you step by step now i finally have my Dot an Mc numbers. again thank you very much !!!
I was interested in becoming a independent courier using a Cargo Van, mainly dealing in logistics, such as warehouses. I was wondering if the process is still completely the same to get my DOT and MC#..I’ll be only working within the state of California and wanted to start off using a 3rd party app called DOFT..You have any suggestions or comments on that?
Hey Oscar, this is extremely helpful, Thank you. my question is what if the company is owned by 2 people do u have to put everyone name on the USDOT and MC?
You should for proper documentation. Either way, once they are added to the LLC/corporation they are tagged on the back of these other systems that can get all the owner's information. Hope that helps.
Very helpful video....I have a question, would you recommend setting up the company early even if I don’t plan to purchase my first truck for another 6 mo or so?
I recommend to prepare in steps and take your time as this is a business decision. Get consulting and prepare are my recommendations. You can save your butt a year's worth of errors by listening to those who have done it and are willing to teach to you for a price. EVEN IF YOU ARE A DRIVE for 10+ years. Driving and running a business are two different things. Now you may hear some people say I will get the USDOT to get experience on it. Doesn't work that way, the shipper/brokers want to see active USDOT with insurance history. When they say they want 3months to-1years USDOT experience they mean active USDOT/MC Authority. You have one year from the application time before you have to pay the $300 again. Don't purchase the UCR until you ready to go because come the Jan 1st you have to pay it again as its annual payment. Assuming you are doing 6 months. Thanks for the questions Shaun!
@@truckersauthority great video question, in my case I had to do the sap program for a refusal of drug test will this have affect on me trying to get my dot and emc number?
@@truckersauthority You said that brokers want USDOT experience. How do you get this experience if the shippers and brokers will not hire you. In your video you mentioned a scenario where a company hires independent contractors but they don't maintain their vehicles which effect your DOT. Do Independent drivers not have their own? I have heard of driving under someone else's authority but I don't know if you can sign on to a company as an independent with your own authority. To sum up, how do you get the experience without being hired due to no experience.
@@justincase441 There are several companies, ex. Uber Freight. A RU-vidr by the name IMKOMOS has a video of 30 brokers for new entrants with no experience
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP, YOU GUY DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THIS VIDEO... I WAS GOING TO GIVE UP ON YOU IN THE BEGINING... BUT THEN I REALIZE HOW VALUABLE INFORMATION YOU WERE GIVING THANKS
Hi there, sharing your knowledge is such a blessing, I've completed this form. We have truck, plates, insurance, gonna lease a trailer. What else do we need to get started? (Starting our own after lay off)
I know this is late but one thing is consulting is cheap in the long run. Find someone that is in/has been in the industry pay them for knowledge. Tell them you just want to know all the mistakes to avoid and what they would different year one. This a more of an idea to give you a theme. After that network, get on linked in, get connected with brokers and contractors, markets, whatever your niche is. Get clients, haul, network, haul, haul, network. By network i mean with brokers, shippers, and other motor carriers. If you mean permits its hard to say not knowing your situation. The basic plus any state permits if any, plates, insurance. Don't forget about KY, NY, OR, and NM with their own required road tax. You can get it at the port of entry but if you are going in there a good amount might as well as open an account with them.
A HUGE THANK YOU to you for helping my Husband and I on our journey as Owner Operators! You are a true gem and this video has helped us our tremendously, not only is it user friendly, but clear and direct. Your teachings has made this application process smooth and our confidence in the trucking industry!
Hey girl!!! have you guys started with yall trucking business already? me and my husband are a startup with the business! still have a lot of questions. how everything doing with you guys??
I just have one question.. Do i need my equipment (truck and trailer) prior to applying for my own authority or can I start and the process and then purchase my equipment?? Thank you!!
Your link should populate first. I thank you so much for your information. All of what you said was right on point and I was able to get up and running with my own authority. It’s been fairly decent on my own. I wish I would have done this years ago. Thank you again 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I used to drive for a big nationwide carrier that regularly pulled their trucks in for maintenance, and their equipment was known for being in good condition. So much so, that when I came up to roadside inspection stops, they often just waved me through.
Simplemente gracias,,,, Muy buena información, muy bien explicada, bien detallada,,,,, Con lo que aprendí de este video voy a sacar mi DOT y MC#,,,,,, Mil gracias, Yo estaba más perdido que un mono en Alaska, sin saber que hacer...Nuevamente gracias !!

@@truckersauthority Hello. I’m on the Affiliation with others portion of your video and I have a question. I do have another DOT # but that LLC is suspended. I started a new LLC under logistics. Do I have to put the old info in that portion or could I say no but handle the other DOT later? Thank you
