What does it cost to reinstate my MC?
FMCSA charges a flat $80 reinstatement fee (49 CFR §360.3T(f)(52)) when the reinstatement request is filed - the same $80 for MC, MX, MC-B, and FF authority. On top of the $80, the cost depends on the cause: bringing insurance current (set by your insurer), a fresh BOC-3 if the designation lapsed, or corrective-action work for a safety-rating recovery. Our MC authority reinstatement price is $300, which includes the $80 FMCSA fee.
The FMCSA reinstatement fee is a flat $80 under 49 CFR §360.3T(f)(52), paid when the reinstatement request is submitted. It is separate from the $300 OP-1 fee charged only when you apply for brand-new authority instead of reinstating the existing one.
Insurance reinstatement: the premium to bring coverage current or bind a new policy, set by your insurer based on your history, equipment, and operation.
BOC-3 lapse cure: a fresh BOC-3 filed with FMCSA by a registered process-agent provider.
MCS-150: FMCSA charges no fee for the biennial update; $39 from our sister site FastMCS150 if you use a filing service.
Safety-rating recovery: the cost depends on the corrective actions needed (driver qualification files, maintenance records, drug-and-alcohol program) and varies by fleet.
New-entrant audit failure: the cost is whatever it takes to fix the cited deficiencies, which varies by carrier.
