DOT NUMBER
Companies that operate commercial vehicles transporting passengers or hauling cargo in interstate commerce must be registered with the FMCSA and must have a USDOT Number. The USDOT Number serves as a unique identifier when collecting and monitoring a company’s safety information acquired during audits, compliance reviews, crash investigations, and inspections.
MC NUMBER
Unlike the USDOT Number application, a company may need to obtain multiple operating authorities to support its planned business operations. Operating Authority dictates the type of operation a company runs, the cargo it carries, and the geographical area in which it may legally operate.
SCAC
The Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) is a unique two-to-four-letter code used to identify transportation companies. SCAC codes are required when doing business with all U.S. Government agencies and with many commercial shippers, including those in the automobile, petroleum, forest products, and chemical industries as well as suppliers to retail businesses and carriers engaged in railroad piggyback trailer and ocean container drayage. Carriers who use the Uniform Intermodal Interchange Facilities Access Agreement (UIIA) are required to maintain a valid SCAC code.
UCR
Motor carriers, freight forwarders, leasing companies and brokers based in the United States, Canada, Mexico, or any other country that operate in interstate or international commerce in the United States must register under the UCR program (Unified Carrier Registration). UCR replaced the Single State Registration System (SSRS) program.
The UCR program a Base-State system, under which a carrier pays UCR fees through its Base State on behalf of all participating states.
