Our Trucking Permit Services

At Mayflower, we simplify every permit requirement your business needs to operate legally across the US. and Canada. Here's a detailed look at what we offer:

1. USDOT Number

Every commercial vehicle operating interstate must have a USDOT number.

We register your DOT number with FMCSA and ensure your information is filed accurately for tracking and safety compliance.

2. MC Number (Motor Carrier Authority)

Required if you're hauling for-hire freight across state lines.

We help you apply for your MC authority and complete all associated filings to ensure you're legally cleared to transport.

3. BOC-3 Filing (Process Agent Designation)

A legal requirement for MC authority approval.

We file your BOC-3 form with FMCSA to assign a legal representative in each state you operate, required for any legal notices.

4. UCR Registration (Unified Carrier Registration)

Applies to all carriers and brokers involved in interstate travel.

We manage your annual UCR filing and renewals, so you avoid penalties and stay compliant.

5. IFTA Filing (International Fuel Tax Agreement)

Required for vehicles operating in multiple states/provinces. We handle your quarterly IFTA fuel tax reporting, ensuring correct mileage and fuel use across jurisdictions.

6. IRP Plates (International Registration Plan)

Mandatory for interstate commercial vehicles over 26,000 lbs. We manage your IRP account and renewal process to keep your trucks legally registered for multi-state operations.

7. SCAC Code Registration (Standard Carrier Alpha Code)

Needed for carriers involved in international shipments or working with U.S. Customs. We help you apply for and manage your SCAC code through NMFTA for customs clearance and tracking.

8. Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT – Form 2290)

Annual tax on heavy vehicles using public highways. We electronically file your HVUT to get your Schedule 1 fast, which is required for IRP renewals and registrations.

9. Special or Oversize Permits

Required for transporting overweight, wide, or hazmat loads. We secure the necessary state-specific permits to help you avoid fines and ensure your routes are legally approved.

10. Permit Renewals & Deadline Reminders

Avoid disruptions to your operations with timely renewal support. We track expiration dates and send reminders so your business stays compliant year-round.
