Texas Truck Permits helps carriers of all sizes and experience levels. Here is a breakdown of the key permits and requirements to start your trucking company in Texas.
Before anything else, establish your business entity. An LLC protects your personal assets from lawsuits brought against your company and can save you money on taxes. Required by most brokers and shippers before they'll work with you. If you have a DBA, we can help transfer your trucking authority to a new LLC.
Get LLC Formation Help →All carriers must obtain a USDOT number. This form must be updated every two years to maintain compliance. We complete the full 10-page application ensuring zero errors. For hazardous material carriers, we use the MCS-150B form that includes the Hazmat Permit Application.
Learn About USDOT Numbers →Before hauling interstate loads, you must obtain your MC number. This application is several pages long and requires detailed information about your business. Our team saves you time and ensures accuracy. After filing, a mandatory 21-day FMCSA waiting period applies.
Learn About MC Numbers →All truckers for hire must file a BOC-3 form with the FMCSA before authority will be issued. BOC-3 designates process agents (legal representatives) in every state where you operate. We file this immediately after your MC number.
File Your BOC-3 →Carriers must obtain Liability and Cargo insurance. Get insurance on file within the first two weeks after your MC/USDOT filing to avoid processing delays. After 60 days without insurance, your authority can be dismissed. After one year, you must restart the entire process and repay all fees. Recommended: $1,000,000 liability + $100,000 cargo policy.
Get Insurance Help →Required for carriers picking up and delivering loads only within Texas. Issued by the Texas DMV — not the FMCSA — and should not be confused with your USDOT number. We handle all TxDMV filings and coordinate insurance Form E requirements.
Learn About TxDMV →Required if your truck/trailer and load weight exceeds 59,999 lbs traveling in Kentucky. Quarterly reports required.
Required for all vehicles with GVW of 18,001 lbs or more traveling within New York State. Quarterly tax based on miles and weight.
