One-Stop Trucking Solutions in Florida
If you plan on starting a trucking company in Florida and want to operate only in Florida, then you would be considered an intrastate motor carrier. One pro of being an intrastate motor carrier in Florida is that the federal government would not regulate your trucking company as much as an interstate carrier. Also, Florida is a big state which makes being a trucking company that only hauls in one state much easier. One con is that you are only limited to hauling in Florida and cannot take over the road trips to other states. This could limit the potential loads that your trucking company can haul.
If you are starting a trucking company in Florida, you will be required to form a company entity in Florida. We can help you in forming your Florida LLC or Florida Corporation. Forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Florida can help provide you with some liability protection and tax flexibility. Our team will guide you through the entire process, which includes choosing a unique name for your Florida LLC and filing the required paperwork with the state of Florida. We'll also assist you in obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, which is necessary for tax purposes. With our expertise, we'll make the process of forming your Florida LLC straightforward and stress-free, allowing you to focus on the exciting journey of starting your trucking business.
You are required to have multiple permits in order to start a trucking company and operate in Florida. Florida trucking companies may be required to have USDOT number, MC number, BOC-3, UCR, IFTA, and other permits. Depending on the nature of your operations, you may also need to apply for specialty permits. Contact us and we can help determine exactly which trucking permits you need to operate in Florida.
Extra Trucking Permit Requirements for Florida
Florida IRP Apportioned plates
We offer help to Florida trucking companies to obtain their IRP apportioned plates. IRP apportioned plates are essentially your truck's plates and registration. Our experienced team understands the complex regulations and requirements and can help you navigate the process with ease. We ensure that the paperwork is completed accurately and submitted in a timely manner, freeing you to focus on your running your trucking company.
Florida IFTA Registration, Stickers, and Report Filings.
If you are a Florida interstate trucking company, you are required to get IFTA registration to pay for your road taxes in other states. Our IFTA sticker service is designed to take the hassle out of obtaining these necessary decals. We understand the regulations and requirements of obtaining IFTA stickers and will work to ensure that your business is compliant. Once you get your IFTA registration completed, we can help file your quarterly IFTA reports with the state of Florida and renew the registration yearly.
2290(HVUT) Tax Filing for Florida Trucking Companies
Filing your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT), also known as Form 2290, is extremely important for trucking companies in Florida. Missing the filing deadline can result in heavy IRS penalties. That's where our services come in. We handle all aspects of the filing process, from form preparation to submission, and provide you with a filing receipt from the RIS. Our experienced team ensures that your business remains compliant with all regulations, providing you with peace of mind and more time to focus on your operations.
After you start your trucking company in Florida and haul your first load, you will need to get paid. However, did you know that most shippers and freight brokers pay on NET30 terms? This means that you will not get paid for your work until 30 days after you invoice the customer.

Our specialty is helping owner-operators get a trucking authority and start their trucking companies. We make sure to keep you compliant and help you with all the reliable services we can.
With our trucking authority packages, we can help you start your trucking authority in Florida with the exact permits you need.
First, it's essential to know exactly which trucking permits you need to operate your trucking company in Florida. This includes establishing your Florida LLC or Corporation, obtaining your Florida operating authority, securing your Florida intrastate authority, registering for Florida IRP, and acquiring any other permits necessary to ensure your operations are fully legal. By choosing to work with USA Truck Permits, you're choosing clarity and efficiency. We take the guesswork out of the process and save you time and money.
Your company has to apply for your Florida USDOT number through the FMCSA. It's important to carefully fill the application out as making small mistakes can waste time, filing fees, and can cause your trucking company to be classified wrong.
Getting your Florida USDOT number starts at $125. You will need extra permits to be fully legal depending on your operations.
You will need a USDOT number in Florida if your company operates any vehicle with a GWVR over 10,001 pounds.
You have to apply for your Florida Trucking Authority (MC number) through the FMCSA by filling out an application. It's important to carefully complete the application to make sure that your trucking company's operations are not classified wrong. There are many more questions on the MC application than on the USDOT application, so entering the wrong answers can mess up your entire process and cause delays. After you apply there is 21 day vetting period by the FMCSA in which you would get the rest of your Florida trucking permits.
Florida MC numbers start at $449. You will need extra permits depending on your operations.
If you are hauling loads outside of Florida and are a private or For Hire carrier, then you need to apply for your MC number.
You will also need a UCR filing, BOC-3 filing, IFTA stickers and more depending on your operations type.
