registered agent it shouldn't cost you

no more than fifty dollars a one-time

payment um i think the one that i used

was like 15 or 20 dollars it's very

cheap i actually don't remember it so if

you send me a dm or if you comment below

you will immediately start to get

marketing so just be aware of that make

create a

random one

since it's blurred out i'll go ahead and

use my social

um

but you guys should definitely be using

a real ein number okay

is this applicant a unit of government

no unless you are but even if you are

you should probably say no

because you are a civilian at this point

okay business description form of

business okay we're gonna just say that

you're a limited liability because

that's what you should be

and let's just say that you are in the

state of texas

gonna go ahead and fill out this

information assuming that you are the

same person filling out this

notification for yourself then just

enter the same information and that

you've already entered in i'm going to

do that now

[Music]

[Music]

so what i'm going to do for the sake of

time is i'm going to fast forward all of

this descriptive information and just

trust that you have all this information

ready to go and you can enter it in

uh when you're prompted to do so it

doesn't make sense for me to go ahead

and keep on showing you enter in the

same information because it's not your

information anyway so just make sure

that you have your accurate ready to go

information like i said you should have

a virtual address or some sort of

business address if not then use your

home address but i'm gonna go ahead and

enter in all of this descriptive

information and i'll get y'all at the

next important part

once you finish entering and all your

information is going to bring you to

this verification screen i'm not going

to scroll down because my actual social

security number is on this screen off

[Music]

yes

you will be transported properly

will the applicant receive compensation

for a business and transporting the

property belonging to others absolutely

okay

okay what type of property will the

applicant transport select all that

material

uh you won't be doing household goods

material or get any other type of

certifications do not put it on this

application we just want to get you

approved for your mc and your dlt you

can go back and get the certifications

through the proper channels at a later

time but if you put all this stuff on

here now it's gonna screw you up and

authority going so just trust me when i

say just just for now

do other non-hazardous freight you're

gonna do hazardous material or anything

like that you can get that after your

authority goes active okay

so we're gonna click next again none

other non-hazardous break

non-hazardous materials across state

lines other known as

interstate yes this is how you get your

mc so yes

will the applicant transport their own

property

no

you shouldn't

will the applicant transport any

passengers hell no

will the applicant provide property or

household goods for hhg broker services

no you're not trying to be a broker

right now

even if you are you're not doing it

right now this is just strictly for

people who are intentionally trying to

start a box truck business

so therefore you will not be providing

freight forwarding

services

so don't even look at it just keep it

moving

you will not have any car uh

cargo tank facility will the applicant

operate as a drive away

no

trucks don't do that

you're not a tilt company so straight up

no don't even look at it even if you're

gonna do that later on

do

not worry about it right now all of this

stuff on here you see all of this ignore

it don't look at it it may be tempting

you may say i can do all of this i want

to do all of this do not click any of it

except for general freight it's already

highlighted for you keep it moving okay

you can always come back later and add

what you want to add to the proper

channels

later

through the proper channels later but

don't do that now because you will get

tripped up and you want to make sure

that your mc and your dlt number is good

to go within 21 days okay

just verify all this information is

correct this is the only thing that

should be here

when it's time for you to click the next

button okay

okay so now they want the information

about your motor vehicles that you plan

to operate let's click next

okay how many non-commercial vehicles

are you gonna be operating

zero all of your vehicles will be

commercial vehicles if they're over 10

000 pounds if you're operating a 24 or

26 foot box truck you are a commercial

vehicle congratulations all right the

type of vehicles that you're gonna drive

okay let's just assume everybody here is

gonna buy their box truck okay if it's a

zero

if you're not leasing it then it's

hold up

zero here

zero here for tripolis

okay drive away services zero there too

if you're leasing like i did then you

know this will be a one

and onl

will be zero okay but it's totally up to

your situation um it's probably best if

you just put here that you own it and

everything else is zero okay you wanna

make sure that this is accurate because

you have to go in and put 0 for all of

them you want to make sure that it's

accurate because it's also going to

determine how much

you have to pay for your ucr

you know anything over 2

is a different fee so if you only have

one box truck make sure that you have

only one

under

straight trucks owned okay even if

you're renting

just say that you have one that you own

for now okay everything else should be

zeroed out

okay

please provide the number of commercial

vehicles

okay we're not going to canada we're not

going to mexico okay although i did i

was almost tempted to go

take a little

i was tempted to take a loan to alaska

one time

and i ended up turning it down because i

promised that i would be home by a

certain time and obviously driving to

alaska would be quite a detour so

just make sure that you put all of this

as zero for now

okay

please provide the number of commercial

vehicles the applicant will operate

solely interstate commerce okay

interstate means that you're going to be

crossing state

lines okay this is state lines you want

to say

one if you start with one box truck

please provide the number of commercial

motor vehicles the applicant will

operate solely in intra state commerce

okay interstate in trust state is just

within your state we're going to say

zero because they're going for the mc

you don't want to get tripped up you

know once that you're going to be just

inside your state because then you're

going to turn around and only give you a

dlt number you want to make sure that

you get your mc number so you can cross

state lines so zero

next

okay just make sure that all this

information is accurate like you said

um it's supposed to be supposed to look

just like this if you're trying to get

to mc your dlt you got a commercial

vehicle a box truck that is over ten

thousand pounds less than twenty six

thousand pounds this is exactly what

this screen should look like okay

next

what is the number of drivers who will

operate as interstate let's just say

that within a hundred air miles radius

we're gonna say zero because

we want the mc number so we're gonna say

beyond

beyond a hundred air mile radius okay

let's make it clear that we're we're

going for the mc

what is the number of drivers who will

operate solely

as interesting zero

and zero because

none of your drivers will remain in

state even if they do take a load that's

within the same state and within those

air miles we want the mc so we don't

want to get tripped up i'll make sure

that the fmcsa is fully aware that we

cross the state lines and we need that

mc number okay so what are the number of

drivers with a commercial driver okay

your cdl okay if you have your cdl great

if not

then great

but

i'm just gonna say zero because most

people who are driving a box truck don't

have a studio if you have this video

then you can put it in there if not

don't worry about it just put zero

um like again i'm just gonna assume that

none of your drivers will be in canada

or mexico

um and even if they do let's just for

now assume that they won't

so that you don't get tripped up

okay driver summary should look exactly

like this it doesn't look like this then

perhaps you did something wrong

okay they want to talk about the

financial responsibility okay the fmcsa

needs to ask a few additional questions

to determine financial responsibility

amounts click next to proceed let's

proceed

okay

in the operation classification section

of this application you specify the

entity will be transported property

interest dating and for compensation

will any of this property get

transported in a vehicle over 10 000

pounds absolutely and a box truck you

over 10 000 pounds

applicant will operate for higher

property cargo general freight the

company's estimate finance

responsibility minimum by the leo case

you deep in the game and you're well

known in these streets for being an

affiliate of one of these they just say

no if you worked at the facility or you

got cousin or something like that it

doesn't apply to you so we just don't

say no

okay

summary

all right so we should be just about

finishing up is asking for a

certification statement

basically saying that everything you've

entered in is true to your knowledge so

let's go ahead and enter in this

information and say that i do

okay

okay e signature password now i told

y'all to see where i say african

password you got to come back here to

your notes page like i told y'all

and go ahead and copy

copy and paste together my export again

i put

[Music]

okay i put that

i was the owner make sure everything is

cap sensitive too so

make sure that you

put it exactly how you did it the first

time

okay next

compliance certification okay well make

sure that i'm compliant you can pause

and read this if you want i'm gonna go

ahead and click next

does the applicant certify it is willing

and able to provide the proposed

operation and services and to comply

with all the

listen okay yes i certify you can read

pause and read this if you want but of

course obviously if i'm filling out this

application then i am

intentional about driving a box truck

okay again

you can pause and read this if you want

but basically it is basically making

sure that you are aware what you sign it

up for everything that you put in this

application this is what you say about

that life it's making sure that you are

serious about this and that you're

certifying that you're gonna do exactly

what it is you said

okay does the applicant certify is not

currently disqualified from operating

commercial vehicles i hope not but if

you are good luck

does the applicant certify it

understands that the agents for service

of process designation will be deemed

okay so this is basically saying that

you have to have a process

agent and that this person this company

is responsible for getting contact with

you in all 49 states

in the event that you're being sued or

any event that some legal action is

needed they're going to be the people

that's going to be contacted you have to

submit this to the fmcsa within 21 days

for your authority to go active okay you

want to do this around week two so that

way you can make sure

that you get your authority active

within the 21 days on the 21st day

[Music]

does the applicant certify that the

carrier is not prohibited from filing

this application because

yes

not doing nothing shady just

doing it for the first time getting

going okay

if the afghan's registration is

currently revoked does the applicant

certify okay it's not revoked but we're

gonna go ahead and say let's go

okay again it's asking for the

applications

password copy

paste

next

okay we want to make sure all of this is

legit

i certified certified certified i'm

gonna do what i said i'm gonna do

so now you gotta take an oath the fmca

requires you to take an oath

so take your oath

i'm gonna go ahead and enter my

information and again one more time

take my oath the hope that i've already

taken

and so far have upheld and i plan to

continue to do so

okay

again

copy paste from your notes

owner

and the date is there

boom

okay

okay so at this point in application

you're basically creating a portal this

is the same portal that you'll be able

to use at a later date

whenever you want to get in and check

the status of your uh mc

or your dlt or you know any violations

that you might have this is the the

portal

information that you're creating right

now this is how you create it in doing

so you'll also be able to

make your payment your 300 payments so

this is the furthest that i'm going to

go as you can see it says 99 because the

only thing after this screen is they're

going to take 300 from me and obviously

i'm not gonna do that because i already

have my mc in my dlt so i hope this

video has been helpful to you

but this is the furthest i'm gonna go

again after you enter this information

in it's just gonna ask you to take your

money if you have any questions put it

in the comments

below or send me a dm

and i'll catch y'all in the next video

you
