Get an MC Number and Participate in Interstate Trade

To transport goods from one U.S. State to another, you need a motor carrier or MC number. Some states will require you to get an MC number even if you do not take part in interstate commerce. This number should be printed on the vehicle as it serves as identification: it allows the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration or FMCSA to track you by looking up your number in their database.

To obtain an MC number, visit the nearest Department of Motor Vehicles or DMV office. Get a DMV 706 MCP form and fill it out. Afterward, submit it along with DMV 65 MCP. The DMV 65 MCP is a form that proves financial responsibility. If you are employed, have it accomplished by your boss. If you are self employed, then of course you will be the one to accomplish it.

Apart from these, you also have to give a copy of your insurance or your boss's compensation insurance (which one you give will depend whether you're employed or self-employed), and your requestor code number. Then, give your carrier identification number, too and pay the required fee.

After all of these, you will need to wait for the updates on your application. Don't worry, it might take a while but you will get your MC permit in a few weeks.
