Texas Motor Carrier Authority

Do I need a Texas Motor Carrier Number?

If you pick up loads in Texas and deliver them within the state of Texas, you are required to registered for Texas intrastate operating authority (TX DOT Number). We can assist with keeping you compliant within the state of Texas. Click below to begin.

The process of getting set-up legally means much more than just getting a USDOT number and operating authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). We’ll get you your USDOT number if that is all you need, but usually much more is needed and we’ve detailed many of those steps below.

Regardless of the years of experience you might have in the trucking industry, by using Abante Carrier Solutions LLC you can be confident that you will have the necessary information to put in-place the safety management practices to pass your New Entrant Safety Audit mandated by federal regulation (§ 385.307(b)). This audit will occur any time after your third month of operation and approximately half of all new entrant motor carriers fail this audit – mostly because they were unaware of the requirements.

Broker Authority vs. Operating Authority

Getting your authority to become a freight broker is different from motor carrier operating authority needed to start your own trucking company.

We’ve seen far too many people try to get their operating authority, but choose the wrong one. Getting the wrong authority means paying the filing fee again, wasting time and money.

The FMCSA does not refund applicants if they apply for the wrong authority.

Abante Carrier Solutions LLC Offers authority for:

• Motor Carrier
• Freight Broker
• Freight Forwarder
• USCG
• FAA

Let Abante Carrier Solutions take the hassle out of the paperwork process for you, and we will ensure you are compliant.
