🚛 Here’s a Breakdown of MC/DOT Fees (What You Actually Need to Start)
If you're getting ready to start your trucking business, one of the biggest questions is:
👉 “How much does it really cost to get my MC/DOT?”
Here’s a simple breakdown so you know exactly what to expect:
💰 Required Costs:
- MC/DOT (FMCSA Filing Fee): $300
- BOC-3 Filing: $75
🩺 Additional Requirements:
- DOT Medical Exam: $50 – $100
- DOT Vehicle Inspection: $100 – $200
📊 Estimated Total to Get Started:👉 Around $525 – $675 (depending on where you go for exams/inspection)
⚠️ Important to Know:
- These are mandatory costs — no way around them
- Prices can vary slightly by provider/location
- This does NOT include insurance (which is a separate requirement to activate your MC)
💡 Pro Tip:
While you’re waiting for your MC to become active (usually 7–10 days), you can still start making money by working with carriers that don’t require your authority yet 👀
