Motor Carrier Products

$69 – Completed and filed form MCS-150. A US DOT number is NOT authority to operate. It is actually your Motor Carrier Identification Report (MCS-150). You are required to make a biennial update or when changes occur to your business information.

$69 – Completed and filed form MCS-150B. Remember – additional regulatory requirements apply if you are going to haul hazardous material.

$39 – Motor carriers are required to make updates to their Motor Carrier Identification Report (MCS- 150) every two years. With FMCSA’s new motor carrier Safety Measurement System it is absolutely critical for you to make certain your fleet size and annual mileage are accurately listed. Members of the WSTA receive this service for no administrative fee.

$409 each – Motor Property Carrier and Broker Authority (OP-1) or Freight Forwarder (OP-1FF). Your authority will NOT be activated until the minimum amount of insurance ($750,000) has been filed with FMCSA. $750,000 is the minimum level required if you are hauling general commodities (non-hazardous), however, many brokers and shippers may require higher coverage.

NOTE: While you may consider getting broker authority, it currently requires a $10,000 bond on file with FMCSA and legislation passed by congress will increase the broker bond requirement to $75,000. The cost to a small-business broker in securing a $75,000 bond is currently the subject of much controversy and we strongly advise you investigate what a bond will cost before spending an additional $300 getting broker authority.

$59 – Want to operate for-hire commercial within a state? American Alliance Authority & Compliance will complete your intrastate authority application for only $59! (California MCP excluded). For motor carriers wishing to get California operating authority we have an exclusive package of services designed specifically for those motor carriers.

$39 – (EIN) issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Because your authority application will be a public record available on websites, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration strongly encourages sole-proprietor owner-operators to obtain an EIN from the Internal Revenue Service instead of using your Social Security Number (SSN). If you don’t already have an EIN, we will get you one for you prior to beginning the process.

$99 annual fee – Whether you are an established motor carrier or classified as a New Entrant Motor Carrier under federal regulations, it is important to check your safety profile as maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The new safety measurement system – Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) is used to target motor carriers for various levels of interventions based on crash and inspection data. We will monitor your carrier profile on a quarterly basis and send you the results along with information on how to improve your profile if necessary. Members of the WSTA receive this service at no administrative fee.

$50 per truck – If you operate in California your equipment needs to comply with many regulations mandated by the California Air Resources Board. Don’t depend on “Road Rumors” concerning how to comply – non-compliance can cost thousands of dollars in fines. We make sure you have the necessary information to operate legally in California and will register up to 3 trucks in CARB’s Truck Regulations Upload and Compliance Reporting System (TRUCRS) and get your Compliance Certificates. Brokers and shippers are increasingly requiring the CARB Compliance Certificate in order to haul for them. Members of the WSTA receive this service for a discounted $25 administrative fee.

For fleets with more than 3 trucks we have partnered with CleanFleets.Net to provide CARB compliance solutions.

Our $99 fee includes the $64 filing fee which is an annual fee. Members of the WSTA receive this service at no administrative fee.

$49 per truck – If you are registering a truck with a gross weight of greater than 54,999 pound you will need a stamped receipt from the IRS as proof of payment of the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (form 2290).

Members of the WSTA receive this service at no administrative fee.

$19 plus shipping – The large bound version of the FMCSR’s contains sections and DOT Interpretations of the regulations not found in smaller versions.
