Form your LLC and file your USDOT/MC authority in one bundle — $1050 all-in. The 21-day FMCSA vetting window is monitored on a tightening cadence so nothing slips. Already incorporated? Authority-only at $699.
State LLC filing fees and federal pass-throughs (UCR, HVUT, MCS-150) are itemized and billed at cost. No relabeling of government fees as Cypress charges.
The FMCSA URS form is free. The work around it — the verified data going in, the 21-day vetting clock that follows, and the BOC-3 / insurance steps that follow that — is what carriers pay Cypress to run end-to-end.
Every authority filing has a 21-day FMCSA vetting deadline. Cypress polls SAFER on a tightening cadence — daily, then every 6 hours, then hourly as T-0 approaches — and surfaces every status change in your portal.
T-21 · T-14 · T-10 · T-5 · T-2 · T-0Your filing package is built from verified inputs — EIN confirmed with the IRS, business name cross-checked with the state registry, principal address validated with USPS. The package goes on the wire only after each input clears.
IRS · state registry · USPSUSDOT, MC, BOC-3, UCR, MCS-150 — every filing goes directly to the regulator through Cypress's registered network. No wholesale resale layer; no margin stacked on government fees.
FMCSA · IRS · state DMVThe customer-facing path is short. The work behind it — verification, name-match guards, the 21-day vetting poll, BOC-3 dispatch — runs on a documented timeline.
One guided intake — legal name, owner, equipment, intended operating scope. The legal name you pick is the legal name on every downstream filing.
EIN with the IRS, registry with your state, address with USPS, ID match for the owner. Your URS application is pre-populated and shown to you before submission.
USDOT and MC go on the wire, the 21-day vetting clock is monitored, BOC-3 and insurance routed at activation, and every recurring filing after that runs on one calendar.
Filing on FMCSA's URS portal directly is a legitimate option. Here's an honest, side-by-side of what's actually different.
Government fees pass through at cost on both sides. The Cypress price covers the work of getting them filed correctly the first time.
The 21-day vetting window is what would have killed me trying to do this myself. I got every status change in the portal — I didn't have to refresh SAFER once.
I picked the bundle because I didn't want my LLC name to differ by one comma from my MC. That single thing is what gets BOC-3 kicked back.
Pass-through fees are itemized. The state fee on my LLC was the state fee on my LLC. That alone told me what I needed to know.
