How it works

Four steps,from number to offer.

  1. Step 01

    Enter your MC or USDOT number

    We pull the public carrier record so the conversation starts from real data, not from guesswork.

  2. Step 02

    Confirm your company

    Check the legal name, authority status, insurance status and fleet size we found before going further.

  3. Step 03

    Get an indicative range

    You see an estimated range in USD with the factors behind it. The final offer follows a document review.

  4. Step 04

    Talk to MC Direct

    A specialist follows up, answers your questions and coordinates the next steps with the buying side.

FAQ

Questionswe hear most.

Can I legally sell my MC Authority?

Motor carrier authorities themselves are not sold independently. In many situations, the business entity that owns the authority may be transferred. Every situation is different, and we'll help you understand your available options.

How do I know if my authority has value?

Several factors may affect value, including operating history, compliance record, age, Amazon Relay participation, and overall market demand.

What if my authority is inactive?

An inactive authority may still have value depending on its history and qualifications. We review each authority individually.

Does Amazon Relay increase value?

An established Amazon Relay account may make an authority more attractive to qualified buyers, although each situation is unique.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. Every inquiry is handled privately. We do not publicly advertise your authority without your permission.
