Permit

A permit is a legal document that grants an entity permission to do something, in this case, operate as a contract carrier. It is important to note that a permit does not guarantee success or safety, merely that the holder has the right to attempt the activity in question.

• There are many different types of permits that can be required for various activities, and the specific requirements can vary depending on the jurisdiction in which you are operating.
• In some cases, a simple application may be all that is needed, while in others a more complex process including an investigation and hearing may be required.

The bottom line is that if you want to engage in contract carrier operations, you will need to obtain the appropriate permit(s) before doing so. Failure to do so can result in significant fines and penalties, so it is important to make sure you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
