The trucking industry is complex and can be challenging to navigate for new businesses. There are many permits and trucking authorities that are required to transport goods from coast to coast. Our expert staff at Avaal ensure a stress-free experience as you embark on your new business venture, as well as helping existing carriers with maintaining and renewing their current permits
In the transportation industry, trucking authority is essentially permission granted by the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) to transport goods for profit. There are two types of authority that companies can apply for: contract and common. A contract authority is for carriers that haul freight only for firms that they have a contractual agreement with. A common authority is for carriers that hire themselves out to any company that wants to pay to have legal goods transported.
Obtaining a trucking authority requires a lot of steps and paperwork. That’s why many trucking businesses reach out to companies such as AVAAL for help. AVAAL’s transportation consulting services can help your trucking business with everything needed to get your own trucking authority. We will ensure your application is correct and that you have all of the necessary documents.
