How to verify this operating authority

  1. Confirm the docket number. Check that the docket number on this page (MC184233) exactly matches the one on the carrier's invoice, contract, rate confirmation, or load-board listing. A mismatch is the most common red flag.
  2. Check the current status. Look at the status badge above. Active means the carrier may legally operate; Revoked means the carrier cannot operate in interstate commerce under this authority.
  3. Review the action history. Scan the Action History table for past revocations or reinstatement events. A pattern of repeat revocations usually reflects ongoing insurance instability.
  4. Download the official MC certificate. Click the Download PDF link to get the FMCSA-issued certificate. Keep a copy on file for any load you broker or haul under this authority.
  5. Cross-check live insurance with FMCSA. For the most current insurance and BOC-3 status, click through to the FMCSA SAFER / L&I lookup linked on this page. SAFER updates within 24 hours of insurer filings; TruckCodex mirrors it daily.

Frequently asked questions about MC184233

What is FMCSA docket MC184233? ▾
Docket MC184233 is the FMCSA operating-authority record covering temporary authority for ATL COURIER INC. Each docket is issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Office of Registration and stays attached to the carrier permanently — FMCSA does not reissue numbers to different companies.
What is the current status of MC184233? ▾
MC184233 carries the status "expired" on FMCSA's record. Refer to the Action History section below to see the full timeline that produced this state, including any grants, revocations, and reinstatements.
How do I download the MC certificate for MC184233? ▾
Click the "Download PDF" link near the top of this page or open any cert in the Certificate History grid. The file is the official FMCSA-issued operating-authority certificate as posted to the agency's Licensing & Insurance system. TruckCodex serves a local mirror so the PDF stays available even when FMCSA's L&I portal is slow or down.
How do I verify a carrier's operating authority? ▾
Three checks together give a complete picture: (1) confirm the docket number on this page matches the one on the carrier's documents, (2) check that status is Active and that no recent revocations appear in the Action History, and (3) cross-reference live insurance and BOC-3 filings on FMCSA's SAFER portal. Mismatches between a carrier's claimed MC number and the registered legal name are the single most common indicator of a problem.
What's the difference between Common, Contract, Passenger, and Freight Forwarder authority? ▾
Common authority (type C) lets a carrier haul general freight for any shipper at published rates — the most flexible category. Contract authority (type B) limits the carrier to continuing contracts with a defined set of shippers. Passenger authority (type P) covers the transport of people. Freight Forwarder authority (type F) covers intermediaries who assemble and arrange shipments as the shipper of record. A single carrier may hold more than one type at once.
What insurance is required to keep this authority active? ▾
For-hire motor carriers must keep continuous public-liability coverage on file with FMCSA — typically $750,000 minimum for general freight, $1,000,000 for hazmat or passenger operations, and up to $5,000,000 for certain hazmat classes. Cargo insurance (BMC-34) is required for household-goods movers. The carrier's insurer files Form BMC-91 or BMC-91X directly with FMCSA. A 30-day cancellation notice from the insurer triggers automatic revocation if not replaced.
Can MC authority be bought, sold, or transferred? ▾
MC authority itself is non-transferable — FMCSA issues it to a specific legal entity and won't let the docket move to a different one. What gets bought and sold in practice is the operating company that holds the authority. Acquiring the entity (its corporate shell, EIN, USDOT, and MC docket together) lets the buyer operate under the existing dockets, but the transaction must be reported to FMCSA, which will re-verify safety fitness, insurance, and ownership before letting authority continue. "Authority for sale" listings that promise a fast standalone MC transfer are misleading at best.
What happens if this authority is revoked in the future? ▾
If FMCSA revokes operating authority, the carrier loses the legal right to operate in interstate commerce under this docket. The docket stays attached to the carrier permanently and can be reinstated by curing the underlying issue — typically by filing a fresh BMC-91 insurance form and paying any outstanding fees. FMCSA does not transfer the docket to a different carrier or reissue the number.

About FMCSA operating authority

FMCSA operating authority — the MC, FF, or MX docket number — is the federal permit a for-hire motor carrier, freight forwarder, or broker needs to operate in interstate commerce. It is separate from the USDOT number, which every commercial vehicle operator (including private carriers) must hold. A carrier hauling its own goods needs only a USDOT number; a carrier hauling for hire needs both a USDOT number and an MC docket.

Each docket is issued to a specific legal entity and stays attached to that entity permanently. FMCSA does not reissue a revoked docket to a different carrier and does not allow direct transfer of authority between companies. Authority is granted only after the carrier files proof of insurance (Form BMC-91 or BMC-91X) and a BOC-3 process-agent designation; lapses in either trigger automatic revocation.

TruckCodex mirrors authority records and certificate PDFs directly from FMCSA's public Licensing & Insurance (L&I) and SAFER systems on a daily refresh cycle.
