United States

Develop a Business Plan: Outline your business structure, services, target market, operational plan, and financial projections.

Choose a Business Structure: Decide whether your trucking company will operate as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation. Each has different tax implications and levels of personal liability.

Register Your Business: Register your business name and structure with the appropriate state agency. If you're forming an LLC or corporation, this will typically be with the Secretary of State.

Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN): Apply for an EIN through the IRS for tax purposes.

Apply for Authority: Obtain the necessary authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), including:

  • Motor Carrier (MC) Number: Required for interstate trucking operations.
  • USDOT Number: Required for all commercial vehicles that transport cargo or passengers across state lines.
  • BOC-3 Filing: A form that designates a legal agent in each state where you operate.

State-Specific Requirements: Comply with any state-specific requirements, such as state permits and additional registrations.

Insurance: Secure the required insurance coverage, including liability and cargo insurance.

International Registration Plan (IRP): Register for IRP if you plan on operating in multiple states or Canadian provinces.

International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA): Apply for IFTA decals if your truck operates in multiple states or provinces.

Compliance and Safety: Implement a compliance and safety program to adhere to FMCSA regulations, including driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, and hours of service.

Both in the U.S. and Canada, the specifics can vary significantly by state or province, especially concerning insurance requirements and business registration. It's advisable to consult with legal and financial experts specializing in transportation law and trucking business operations in the specific regions where you plan to operate. This ensures compliance with all regulations and a smooth start to your trucking business.

Canada

Business Plan: Similar to the U.S., start with a comprehensive business plan.

Choose a Business Structure: Decide on the structure (sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation).

Business Registration: Register your business with the appropriate provincial registry or the federal level, depending on your operational scope.

Business Number and Tax Accounts: Obtain a Business Number (BN) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for tax purposes.

Operating Authority: Obtain operating authority from the relevant provincial authority or the federal authority if operating interprovincially or internationally. This may include:

  • CVOR (Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration) in Ontario
  • NSC (National Safety Code) Number for interprovincial operations

USDOT Number: Needed if you're operating between Canada and the U.S.

Insurance: Obtain the necessary insurance, including third-party liability and cargo insurance, as required by your provincial regulator and the federal government.

IRP and IFTA: Register for the International Registration Plan and the International Fuel Tax Agreement if operating across provinces or in the U.S.

Safety and Compliance: Adhere to the National Safety Code standards for commercial carriers, including vehicle maintenance, driver hours of service, and load security.

Permits and Licenses: Depending on the nature of your operations and the goods you're transporting, you may need additional permits and licenses.

Both in the U.S. and Canada, the specifics can vary significantly by state or province, especially concerning insurance requirements and business registration. It's advisable to consult with legal and financial experts specializing in transportation law and trucking business operations in the specific regions where you plan to operate. This ensures compliance with all regulations and a smooth start to your trucking business.
