Whether it's driving
their own trucks or managing their own fleet of trucks, many men are
drawn to trucking as a business because not only does it give them
the opportunity to be their own bosses, the business also offers them
the chance to earn money while doing what they love to do—driving
on the open road and traveling across cities and states.
When starting your
trucking business, capital is the first order of business. Then you
have to get all the relevant paperwork for your business. Documents
for tax, insurance, a Department of Transportation (DOT) number, and
of course an MC number are among the most important to get started in
your own trucking business. The MC number, for example, is needed to
cross state lines and will be handy when your business extends across
state borders.
An MC stands for Motor
Carrier. An MC number also allows the government to track freight
brokers through their system, as they travel and conduct their
interstate commerce. To get started with trucking, one must first
show a clean driving record that should be without any moving
violations or DUI or DWI convictions. If violations exists, it will
take a wait of from three to five years before one can apply for a
driving license that require interstate transporting of goods
commercially.
Any person or business
that uses the motor vehicle for commercial transport, with conditions
on vehicle size and weight, is one requirement to apply for an MC
number.
