What Permits Are Required for Louisiana?

  • DOT Number

    Louisiana is a hub for commercial trucking, so it's essential that Louisiana trucking companies understand and adhere to the rules that govern the industry. One important item Louisiana commercial truckers must have is a United States Department of Transportation (DOT) number. This number is issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and identifies Louisiana businesses that transport cargo and/or people in commerce between states. Depending on the size and nature of operations, Louisiana companies may also be required to file for additional permits or exemptions from FMCSA rules. With careful consideration, Louisiana commercial truckers can ensure they have taken all necessary steps to remain compliant with DOT regulations, ultimately making sure their operations are safe for everyone on the road.

  • Federal MC Authority

    Louisiana motor carriers who wish to operate within the state and beyond have to obtain commercial trucking authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This involves obtaining a Motor Carrier (MC) number, which will allow them to register with Louisiana's Department of Transportation. This number proves that Louisiana motor carriers have met all the necessary requirements and safety standards set forth by FMCSA and Louisiana DOT, thus granting them the necessary authority to transport goods legally in Louisiana and around the country.

  • BOC-3 Filing

    Louisiana commercial trucking companies must submit a federal filing known as a BOC-3. This document, officially called the “Designation of Process Agents”, is required for all companies engaging in interstate transport and commercial trucking activities within Louisiana. The purpose of this filing is to provide an updated list of contacts designated by each company that can easily be contacted by state authorities if needed. By requiring this filing, Louisiana ensures that commercial transport companies remain compliant with federal regulations and can quickly respond to any inquiries from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

  • UCR Filing

    Louisiana fleets are required to participate in the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) filing and maintain their registration every year. This system was designed by Congress to ensure commercial trucking operations viewed Louisiana roads, or any other UCR participating state, as a unified network for state regulations. The fees associated with this process are split between Louisiana and the International Fuel Tax Agreement and vary depending on fleet size. Businesses must prove their compliance with the rules in order to legally drive through Louisiana, making it easier for those who depend upon Louisiana businesses to stay updated on safety regulations. Louisiana continues to work towards providing a safe environment and high-quality roads for fleets seeking reliable routes throughout the region.

  • 2290 HVUT

    Louisiana's 2290 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) applies to vehicles weighing in excess of 55,000 pounds that are operated on Louisiana highways. While Louisiana commercial trucking businesses must pay the 2290 HVUT just like those in other states, Louisiana also has a Motor Carrier Identification Report (MCIR) requirement for commercial vehicles and requires applicants to meet Louisiana fuel tax certification requirements. The IRS administers the program to keep track of commercial trucking companies, their business practices, and their impacts on Louisiana roads. The 2290 HVUT is an important source of revenue for Louisiana and helps ensure that Louisiana's roads are safe and well maintained.
