Are motor carriers who only transport US Mail or freight containers required to obtain a Motor Carrier Permit (MCP)?
The transportation of US Mail or freight containers, whether empty or loaded, has been deemed interstate commerce. If you are under contract with the United States Postal Service and transport only US mail or if your only transport freight containers, you are not subject to MCP requirements even if all your transportation is performed in California. Contact the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and Unified Carrier Registration for additional information regarding interstate commerce.
