Frequently Asked Questions

How is MC authority value calculated?
MC authority value is primarily determined by age (older = more valuable), safety record (clean record = higher value), and operating status (must be active with insurance). Authorities over 10 years old with clean records are most valuable, typically ranging from $10,000-$30,000.
Can I sell just my MC number?
No, MC numbers cannot be sold separately. When you 'sell' an MC authority, you're actually selling the LLC or company that holds the authority. The MC number transfers with the company ownership.
How long does it take to sell an MC authority?
The typical MC authority sale takes 2-4 weeks from agreement to closing. This includes verification, paperwork, and FMCSA filing. FF Dispatch handles all the paperwork and filings for you.
What if my MC authority has violations?
Violations reduce your MC's value, typically by 50% or more depending on severity. However, many authorities with violations are still sellable. Contact us for a specific evaluation.
Do I need active insurance to sell my MC?
Yes, buyers prefer MC authorities with active insurance because it shows continuous operation. Authorities without current insurance are harder to sell at market value. Consider our lease-on program as an alternative.
What's the difference between selling and leasing on?
Selling means transferring full ownership of your MC and company. Leasing on means keeping your MC while operating under another carrier's authority. FF Dispatch offers both options depending on your situation.
