FMCSA Motus Update — What This Means for MC Numbers
Your existing MC number remains fully valid under Motus. However, the FMCSA has proposed phasing out new MC number issuance in favor of a USDOT suffix system. Operating authority is still required — we handle your application under the current system while preparing you for the transition.
What is an MC Number?
A Motor Carrier (MC) number is issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to authorize companies to operate as for-hire carriers in interstate commerce. This number is essential for transporting goods or passengers across state lines for compensation. Under FMCSA's new Motus system, operating authority continues to be required — MC numbers currently remain the mechanism for for-hire authorization while the agency transitions to a USDOT suffix model.
