There are two types of operating authority: exempt and Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)/ Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The definition of a ” for-hire ” carrier is a person or company that provides transportation of cargo or passengers for compensation. If you are a for-hire carrier, in addition to the USDOT number you will also need to obtain operating authority (MC number). Exempt authority motor carriers must contact each state they will be traveling through to apply for exempt authority and certain states may or may not register exempt commodity motor carriers.
