Frequently Asked Questions

We help with setting up your Texas trucking company entity (LLC), obtaining your trucking authority, USDOT/MC/TxDMV numbers, BOC-3 filings, connecting you with insurance, freight factoring, permit renewals, and ongoing compliance management. We are a one-stop shop for all things trucking in Texas.

We start working on your permit filings within 1 business day. Some permits may have longer hold times due to mandatory federal waiting periods or government agency processing times. Some processing times also depend on how quickly you can provide required information and paperwork.

We recommend a Texas LLC for most small trucking companies. A Limited Liability Company protects your personal assets from lawsuits against your company and can save you money on taxes. If you currently have a DBA, we can help transfer your authority to a new LLC.

A USDOT number is a federal identification number issued by the FMCSA. All carriers must obtain one. This form must be updated every two years to maintain compliance. We complete the 10-page application and ensure there are no errors on your filing.

An MC (Motor Carrier) number is required before hauling interstate loads. This application is several pages long and requires detailed information about your business. Our team saves you time and ensures accuracy by completing the necessary forms for your business setup.

All truckers for hire must file a BOC-3 form with the FMCSA before their operating authority is issued. BOC-3 designates process agents in every state where you operate. We file this for you as part of our standard authority setup packages.

A TxDMV number is required for trucking companies that operate commercial vehicles to pick up and haul cargo only within Texas. It is mandated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles — not the FMCSA — and should not be confused with a USDOT number. You may need one if you operate a CMV with GVWR over 26,000 pounds.

Yes! We have helped countless Texas freight brokers get started. Freight broker authority requires special paperwork beyond standard carrier authority, and we are experts in getting these filings done correctly.

Factoring is a financial service that converts your trucking invoices into same-day cash, instead of waiting 30–60 days to get paid. It is especially valuable for new trucking companies with cash flow challenges. Our factoring program is straightforward — pick up the load, deliver on time, get paid same day.

Yes, we can assist with IFTA registration and other compliance requirements beyond basic authority setup. IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) requires quarterly fuel tax reporting for interstate carriers. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating — the maximum weight of your truck and trailer with a full cargo load. Your GVWR determines whether your drivers need a CDL, what permits you need, and which regulations apply to your operation. This is especially important for box trucks and hot shots.
