Motor Carrier (MC) Number: To engage in interstate commerce, specifically the transportation of goods across state lines, an MC Number is mandatory in addition to a DOT Number. The following situations necessitate inter-state operating authority:
a) Businesses involved in transporting passengers across state lines for compensation, whether directly or indirectly. b) Transportation of federally-regulated commodities owned by others or arranging their shipment for compensation in inter-state commerce.
The MC Number serves as an identification for carriers engaged in the transportation of regulated commodities for hire in inter-state commerce. This number is mandatory and pertains to items that have undergone alterations from their natural state or fall under the regulation of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
