Operating Authority (MC number)

Jet Delivery requires every agent to have the legal authority to operate in any area they service. In general, at a minimum, you must have interstate operating authority (MC number) in addition to a DOT number.

Operating Authority means the registration required by 49 U.S.C. 13902, 49 CFR part 365, 49 CFR part 368, and 49 CFR 392.9a.

FMCSA operating authority is also referred to as an "MC," "FF," or "MX" number, depending on the type of authority that is granted. Unlike the USDOT Number application process, a company may need to obtain multiple operating authorities to support its planned business operations. Operating Authority dictates the type of operation a company may run and the cargo it may carry.

New Applicants must register online via the Unified Registration System.
