How are fees determined for the Motor Carrier Permit?
MCP application fees are based on the type of motor carrier operation (for-hire or private) and the number of power units in the motor carrier fleet. A motor carrier fleet includes all power units owned, leased and/or operated by the motor carrier. Initial MCP application fees for motor carriers with interstate operations are prorated based on the actual mileage driven within California. Interstate motor carriers are issued a Non-Expiring MCP and are not required to pay a renewal fee.
