    Texas Truck Permits has helped 100’s of Texas trucking companies start and grow successful trucking companies over the years. Most new Texas trucking companies make mistakes on the permits process when starting their trucking companies. With our guidance and expertise, we help you eliminate these mistakes so that you save time and money. Making mistakes on permit applications or not acquiring the necessary permits can lead to costly fines, failure of audits, and can result in your trucking authority being revoked.

    No, we can start filing for your trucking authority and some of the permits without a truck. 

    However, in order to make most of the permits active, we need insurance on file with the FMCSA which would require you to have a truck.

    You don’t need to have a minimum amount of trucks to start. You can start with as little as 1 truck. 
    In fact, most trucking companies are 1-6 sized trucking companies, mostly composed of 1 truck owner operators! We specialize in serving owner operators and small trucking companies.

    We always support and encourage truckers to go out on their own. You have more freedom over your schedule, better pay, and your only boss is YOU! 

    However, you should have some savings before you start and make sure you have the right partners in place before you start such as factoring, dispatch, insurance, and other necessary services(which we can help you with). 

    When you lease on, the company may require you to still get some trucking permits such as a LLC or USDOT number.

    Starting your Texas trucking authority can be as quick as 1 week to a minimum of 21 days depending on your operations type and required permits. If you’re looking to be a Texas intrastate trucking company only, we can finish all your permits in as quick as a week. If you’re a Texas interstate carrier, you have to wait at least 21 days as mandated by the FMCSA.
    Keep in mind, we finish permits filings quickly, but many permit activations are contingent on you getting your insurance on time.
