About FMCSA Operating Authority
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) oversees all entities requiring operating authority to conduct interstate commerce: motor carriers (common and contract), property brokers, and freight forwarders. Each entity type has different requirements for insurance, BOC-3 filings, and operational permissions.
FMCSA publishes operating authority certificates daily for new grants, reinstatements, and transfers. TruckCodex archives these certificates and makes them individually searchable by MC, FF, or MX docket number. Certificate coverage spans from September 2003 to Apr 3, 2026.
