What moves your price
Every offer comes from your public FMCSA record. No hidden haggling.
Cash offer vs. listing with a broker
| Sell My Authority | Broker listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | $0 | Often 10% of the price, with a $2,500+ minimum |
| Time to sell | 7–10 days | Usually 1–3 months, sometimes never |
| Price | Fixed in writing | Depends on who shows up; often reduced |
| Buyer calls and showings | None | NDAs, data room, questions from many buyers |
| Insurance while you wait | About a week | Months of premiums while listed |
A listing can bring a higher sale price. A cash offer trades some of that for speed, certainty and no fees — and once you add up commission and months of insurance, the gap is often smaller than it looks.
Insurance cancelling soon?
If your authority is still active, we can still make an offer — and move first on your file.
Common questions
What exactly are you buying?
We buy the company that holds the authority, usually by purchasing the membership interest of your LLC or the shares of your corporation. FMCSA does not allow MC or USDOT numbers to be sold on their own, so the number always stays with the company and we update the FMCSA records after closing.
Is the instant offer final?
The instant number is an estimate. We check your SAFER, L&I, insurance and lien records and send a firm written offer within one business day. Both your estimate and your firm offer are valid for 7 days. If your records match what you told us, the firm offer lands in the same range.
Are there any fees or commission?
No. There is no commission, no listing fee and no minimum fee. The price in your written offer is the price you are paid at closing.
How fast can we close?
Most sales close in 7 to 10 days after you accept the firm offer. The main steps are signing the purchase agreement, funding escrow and signing the company over.
How do I get paid?
The purchase price is deposited with a licensed escrow service before you sign anything over. It is released to you when the transfer documents are signed.
My insurance is being cancelled. Can you still buy my company?
Yes, as long as the authority is still active. Keep your insurance in force (or get it reinstated) until closing. Once FMCSA suspends the authority we cannot buy it until it is reinstated, so tell us the suspension date on your notice and we will prioritize your file.
Which companies don’t qualify?
Authorities under 8 months old, companies with no insurance on file, and sole-proprietor USDOT numbers (those cannot be transferred). Companies with a Conditional rating, several recent crashes, open liens or unpaid taxes need a manual review.
What happens to my trucks and my company’s past?
Trucks are not part of the standard offer, but tell us if you want to sell them too. Before closing we review liens, claims and tax filings, and the purchase agreement spells out who is responsible for anything from before the sale.
