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.

Our database tracks 1,814,167 authority records across all types: common carrier, contract carrier, broker, freight forwarder, for-hire, and private authority. Of these, 373,185 are currently active.
