Trucking Authorities
The trucking industry is complicated and can be challenging for new businesses. Many permits and trucking authorities are required to move shipments coast-to-coast. Our skilled staff at Tigerlex can help you organize the trucking company and obtain the necessary paperwork and permits to make sure your shipments can travel anywhere.
What is the Trucking Authority?
The United States has several agencies regulating the trucking industry. Among the most notable are the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Department of Transportation (DOT). The FMCSA handles all trucking-related permits, especially the fees and demands required to operate a truck. The DOT monitors safety standards and driver qualifications. The FHWA sets national policies for highway and bridge construction. The trucking authority is authorized by Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) to transport goods for profit. A company can claim two types of authority: contract authority and shared authority. Contract authority is given to transporters who only ship cargo for companies without a contract. Shared authority is for transporters who employ any company willing to pay for the carriage of legitimate freight.
What does Having Trucking Authority Mean?
Trucking authority is essential for the Trucking Business. Being authorized to ship freight means that a company has permission to transport goods for profit. Trucking authority is necessary to sell and ship goods avoiding the fines and penalties that the US Department of Transportation (DOT) imposes on non-compliant companies.
How to Get Trucking Authorities?
