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.
