New to Brokerage? We'll Walk You Through Compliance

Your FMCSA Compliance Roadmap

Four steps stand between you and a legal freight brokerage. Your AI Compliance Agent walks you through each one and tracks renewals automatically.

  1. MC Number Filing

    $300

    FMCSA Form OP-1: your operating authority

    File the OP-1 application with FMCSA to obtain your Motor Carrier number. Processing takes 4โ€“6 weeks. Once active, your authority appears on the FMCSA SAFER database and carriers can verify you instantly.

  2. Surety Bond

    $1,500โ€“$4,000/yr

    $75,000 bond required by FMCSA (BMC-84 form)

    A surety bond protects shippers if you fail to pay. The $75K face value costs a fraction annually based on your credit. Example providers: Surety Bonds Direct, NSBS (National Surety Brokerage Solutions), and Merchants Bonding Company. Premium is typically 2โ€“5% of face value.

  3. BOC-3 Filing

    ~$39

    Process agent designation in each operating state

    The BOC-3 designates a process agent in every state where you operate. Required before FMCSA grants operating authority. File via a registered service provider like National Process Agents (NPA). Most brokers complete this in under 24 hours online.

  4. UCR Registration

    $69/yr

    Unified Carrier Registration: annual renewal required

    The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is a federal annual fee for motor carriers and brokers operating in interstate commerce. For brokers with โ‰ค2 vehicles, the fee is $69/year. Must be renewed each calendar year. Your AI Compliance Monitor will remind you 60 days before expiration.

Total startup cost: approximately $2,000โ€“$4,500 in year one (authority filing + bond premium + registration fees). One load at $300โ€“$600 margin covers your AIZona subscription. Your compliance agent tracks all renewal dates so nothing lapses.

โ€œI went from zero to 47 loads in my first month. The AI matched loads to my carriers while I was on shipper calls. I didn't hire anyone โ€” I just gave my agents better instructions.โ€
