New Authority Kit — The Honest Trucker Edition
USDOT number, MC authority, BOC-3, UCR, IRP plates, IFTA, the 2290 and your insurance filing — in the order they actually happen, with the official fee for every step.
Why this kit
Getting your own authority, the hard part isn't the forms. It's the noise — websites that look like the government and charge you $300 for a USDOT number that costs nothing, and nobody telling you which step has to happen before the next one.
This kit puts it in one place. You answer six questions about your truck and your run. You get your filing order, where each thing is filed, who files it, and what it costs — read from FMCSA, the IRS and the UCR Plan, not from somebody selling a package.
What this is not
VyRal is not a process agent, not a filing service and not an insurance agent. I don't file anything for you, and I don't take a cut of your filing fees. The kit shows you exactly where to file it yourself.
What makes this one better
- The fee for every step, from the official page. USDOT $0, MC $300 per authority, UCR $55 for 0–2 trucks (2027 year), 2290 worked out for your weight VERIFIED 11 Nov 2026. The free checklist I checked gives one fee — the $300 — and no state detail.
- Built for Motus. FMCSA's new registration system went live 14 May 2026, with identity checks through Login.gov, IDEMIA and CLEAR. Older guides still walk you through the retired system.
- Every state and DC. Pick your base state and it tells you whether it's in IFTA and IRP (Alaska, Hawaii and DC are the exceptions) and which states run their own mileage tax — Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Connecticut.
- Your own order, not a generic list. For-hire or private, in-state or across state lines, box truck or semi, hazmat or not — the steps that don't apply to you drop out.
- It tracks you to active. Check off each step, write down the confirmation number and the date. It stays on your phone; nothing is sent anywhere.
- Honest about who files what. Your insurer files the BMC-91. A process agent files the BOC-3. You file the rest. Filing services charge $45 to $445 to do the typing (Fiverr, Foley, 11 Nov 2026) — this kit costs less than one of them and you keep control of your own record.
- It doesn't stop at active. The day your authority goes active, the next step is knowing your floor before your first load.
