Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) No motor carrier shall operate upon any
				  street, road, public highway or dedicated public thoroughfare of this State for
				  the intrastate, including intracity, transportation of household goods for hire
				  without first obtaining from the Commission a certificate as provided in this
				  Section.
(1) An applicant for a certificate
				  shall file with the Commission a written application on the appropriate form
				  prescribed by the Commission (MCF 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 PIN,
				  which shall be the permanent identification number for all matters relating to
				  authority granted therein. Any application thereafter filed to amend the
				  authority or for additional authority by the same applicant shall be filed
				  under the original PIN, and otherwise shall be governed by the provisions of
				  this Subchapter relating to an application for authority. Each subsequent
				  application shall also bear a sub-number in sequence.
(3) A certificate 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 certificate does not of itself authorize any motor carrier
				  operations by the applicant. Such operations are prohibited except pursuant to
				  a certificate issued by the Commission, and only after all requirements have
				  been met, and identification devices have been obtained.
(5) The application for a household goods
				  certificate shall contain the following information:
(A) Name of applicant, trade name, email
				  address, mailing address, principal place of business address which shall be
				  the registered address for purposes of this Subchapter, telephone number and
				  domicile county of the applicant. The applicant's name must be a legal entity.
				  A trade name or "doing business as" (DBA) may be designated, but cannot be a
				  corporate name or LLC or LLP or another organized entity. If the applicant is
				  an organized entity, a copy of the certificate of incorporation or other
				  instrument as issued by the Oklahoma Secretary of State's Office shall be
				  attached to the application.
(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 and listing the email, mailing and physical addresses
				  of each.
(C) Declaration of its
				  USDOT number. Carriers without a USDOT number must apply for a USDOT number. A
				  USDOT number must be issued to the applicant prior to a certificate being
				  issued.
(D) Declaration of its
				  safety rating and provide a safety summary report.
(E) A size and weight summary report.
(F) 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.
(G) A description of all terminal and dock
				  facilities to be utilized for household goods transportation operations. If no
				  facilities exist within the state, the address where vehicles will be parked
				  must be provided.
(H) The name and
				  address of a process agent for Oklahoma must be filed and maintained for any
				  applicant that does not maintain a physical address in Oklahoma.
(I) A declaration that the applicant is in
				  full compliance with all other state laws, rules and regulations.
(J) Any other information the Commission
				  deems necessary.
