Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 165 - Corporation Commission › Chapter 30 - Motor Carriers, Private Carriers and Transportation Network Companies › Subchapter 3 - Intrastate Motor Carriers › Part 1 - APPLYING FOR A LICENSE › Section 165:30-3-1 - Obtaining a license

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) No
				  intrastate motor carrier shall operate upon any street, road, public highway or
				  dedicated public thoroughfare of this State for the transportation of
				  passengers or property for hire without first obtaining from the Commission a
				  license as provided in this Section. A license issued under this Subchapter
				  shall not include transportation as a motor carrier of household goods. Motor
				  carriers of household goods must comply with Subchapter 13 of this Chapter.
(1) An applicant for a license shall file
				  with the Commission a written application on the appropriate form prescribed by
				  the Commission (TDF 1), and shall tender with the application a filing fee as
				  prescribed by law or by Commission rule.
(2) The application shall be assigned a
				  personal identification number (PIN), which shall be the permanent
				  identification number for all matters relating to authority granted therein.
				  Any application thereafter filed to amend the license by the same applicant
				  shall be filed in the same cause under the original PIN, and otherwise shall be
				  governed by the provisions of this Chapter relating to an application for
				  license. Each subsequent application shall also bear a sub-number in sequence.
(3) A license shall be personal to
				  the holder thereof, and shall be issued only to an individual, a corporation, a
				  limited liability corporation, a partnership or some other legally recognized
				  entity.
(4) The filing of an
				  application for a license does not of itself authorize any motor carrier
				  operations by the applicant. Such operations are prohibited until after all
				  requirements have been met, and a license has been issued. All requirements for
				  compliance with this Chapter shall be met within thirty (30) days from date of
				  receipt of a motor carrier license application by the Commission. Failure to
				  comply will result in dismissal of the application for a license. Licenses
				  issued shall be valid for a maximum of one year and may be renewed after
				  application has been filed as provided by this Chapter.
(5) No license for intrastate operations
				  shall be issued until after the applicant has provided a satisfactory USDOT
				  safety rating or the applicant has demonstrated its ability to conduct
				  operations in a safe and reasonable manner and applicant is in compliance with
				  all applicable rules and laws of the State of Oklahoma; has furnished proper
				  proof of all insurance required by this Chapter and all applicable state
				  statutes; and has purchased an appropriate number of identification devices.
(6) The application shall require
				  the following:
(A) Name, single trade name
				  (if any), mailing address, physical address, email address, telephone number
				  and domicile county of the applicant.
(B) The type of applicant (indicating if sole
				  proprietorship, partnership, corporation or other legal entity), specifying the
				  names of all partners, officers and/or directors listing the mailing, physical
				  and email addresses of each.
(C)
				  The type of operations for which the applicant is applying.
(D) The name and address of the motor
				  carrier's process agent in Oklahoma (if the motor carrier does not maintain its
				  principal place of business or a terminal in Oklahoma).
(E) Declaration of its USDOT number. Motor
				  carriers without a USDOT number must obtain a USDOT number from FMCSA or the
				  Commission prior to a license being issued.
(F) Declaration of its USDOT safety rating
				  and safety compliance.
(G)
				  Declaration of size and weight compliance.
(H) A listing of all power vehicles and
				  trailers to be used, detailing the model, make and capacity of each vehicle and
				  denoting whether each vehicle is owned or leased.
(I) A description of all terminal and dock
				  facilities.
(J) Declaration the
				  applicant is in full compliance with all other state laws, rules and
				  regulations.
(K) Any other
				  information the Commission deems pertinent.
(7) Every person operating under the Motor
				  Carrier Act of 1995 and the rules of this Commission shall possess a copy of
				  this Chapter governing the operations of motor carriers.
(8) A motor carrier desiring to modify its
				  license operations shall file a sub application (TDF 1). Sub applications to
				  include hazardous materials must comply with the provisions in this Section.
				  Sub applications to modify other types of operations shall be exempt from (5)
				  and (6) (D)-(I) of this subsection.
(9) A copy of the current license under which
				  a motor carrier operates shall be carried at all times in each power unit by
				  the motor carrier.
