Sell your trucking company.Handled end to end.

Trucking companies do not sell on revenue multiples the way most small businesses do. What a buyer of the LLC is paying for is the regulatory position the company has already earned — the things that cannot be bought quickly at any price. Five variables carry most of the number:

1. An active Amazon Relay contract. The single largest premium. Relay onboarding is closed to carriers younger than 180 days, so a company already inside the program carries value that cannot be replicated quickly. 2. MC authority age. Older authority clears more broker and load-board screens. 3. Insurance status. Continuous coverage history is what Amazon and brokers actually audit — see active vs inactive insurance for when a lapse is workable. 4. The violation record. Clean beats fast: a Conditional safety rating or high out-of-service rate caps the price. 5. Active loans. Not a deal-breaker — the payoff is wired to the lender at closing and the remainder to you — but the balance shapes your net. The full framework is in what’s my MC authority worth.

The process, start to finish

Enter your MC or DOT number and the FMCSA record returns an indicative range in about 90 seconds — no calls required. A written offer follows within 24 hours. Diligence covers the FMCSA record, insurance history, and any liens; then a purchase agreement and bill of sale for the LLC are prepared, and closing happens in person at your own bank: the wire lands before ownership transfers. The average sale runs 3–5 business days; the full sequence is on how it works.

Selling legally: the company, not the number

FMCSA prohibits selling an MC or DOT number as a standalone commodity. What the law recognises is a legitimate corporate transaction: the LLC itself changes ownership, and the operating authority stays with the entity it was issued to. That distinction is the difference between a clean sale and the identity-flipping schemes the industry press warns about — the details are on selling your MC authority and selling safely.
