Authority Package
Get your USDOT and MC authority — filed right the first time.
One flat package that covers the registrations, the filings, and the waiting. You bring the paperwork; we handle everything the government wants to see.
What's included
Everything you need to be legal and bookable
This isn't a form-filler. Each item below is filed, confirmed, and kept in one place you can actually find later.
USDOT number registration
Your carrier identity with FMCSA, filed and confirmed.
MC authority filing
Operating authority so you can haul for hire, submitted under your name.
BOC-3 process agent filing
Required proof of service agent in every state you operate.
UCR registration
Unified Carrier Registration for the year you start operating.
Drug & alcohol consortium
Enrollment with a qualified consortium so you're covered before you roll.
FMCSA Clearinghouse
Registration plus query and reporting setup for your company.
Insurance coordination
We work with your agent on filings so the certificate actually lands.
Wait-period hand-holding
The stretch where nothing seems to be happening — we keep you posted.
Pricing transparency
What you pay, and where it goes
Two numbers you control, and a set of pass-throughs you don't. We show all of it up front — no bundle, no surprise line item two weeks in.
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AuthorityRunner service fee | $499 | Our fee for doing the work start to finish. |
| FMCSA government fee | $300 | Paid to the agency. We never mark it up. |
| BOC-3 process agent | At cost | Pass-through. You see the receipt. |
| UCR registration | At cost | Pass-through, based on your fleet size. |
| Drug & alcohol consortium | At cost | Pass-through enrollment fee. |
| Clearinghouse registration | At cost | Pass-through government fee. |
We never mark up government fees. The FMCSA fee is $300 whether we file it or you do. We charge for the work, not for the stamp.

FAQ
Questions drivers actually ask
No. You can file for your authority before you buy a truck or finish school. Plenty of drivers lock in their USDOT and MC number first, then shop for equipment while the application is processing.
