A for-hire motor carrier means a person engaged in the transportation of goods or passengers for any kind of compensation: promised, paid, or given. Persons providing for-hire transportation must obtain the proper for-hire operating authority. Intrastate for-hire operating authority can be obtained from the Office of Freight and Commercial Vehicle Operations. Interstate for-hire operating authority can be obtained from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
