How to Become a Car Hauler

We regularly get questions about how to become a car hauler, what permits are needed, etc. Collecting some info here to have some answers available online instead! If you have any tips for something you would like us to add, just leave a Contact Us message or give us a call at (810)471-3105!

If you intend to do Interstate transport, you need to get a DOT number and Motor Carrier (MC) authority from FMCSA, more information here:
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration-licensing/online-registration/onlineregdescription.htm

You need $750,000 or $1,000,000 in general liability insurance depending on FMCSA requirements for the MC registration and brokers typically require enough cargo insurance to cover the full value of a load.

You also need a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for hauling a gross vehicle weight of 26,001 lbs. or more.
