Buy & Sell MC Authority Across the United States
Sleepless connects carriers, owner-operators and investors on both sides of the deal. Whether you are looking to pick up an established motor carrier authority or step away from one you already hold, we move fast, keep the paperwork clean, and tell you straight what your options are.
Two sides of the same deal
Some people need an authority today. Others are ready to walk away from one. We sit in the middle and make both sides work, with honest numbers and no runaround.
Buy an MC Authority
Skip the wait and the guesswork. We help you find an established motor carrier authority that fits how you actually plan to run, and walk you through what transfers, what does not, and what it will really cost.
- Established authorities with real operating history
- Straight talk on age, safety record and standing
- Filing and transfer paperwork coordinated for you
Sell Your MC Authority
Getting out of trucking, restructuring, or just done running under your own number? Tell us what you have. We will give you a realistic read on what it is worth and bring you a buyer instead of letting it sit and lapse.
- Free, no-obligation valuation of your authority
- We bring the buyer, so you do not have to hunt
- Clear terms in writing before anything is signed
Built by people who know the paperwork
Buying or selling an authority is not a normal transaction. There are filings, insurance requirements, safety records and federal rules involved. We do this every day, so you are not learning it the hard way.
Nationwide reach
We work with carriers and buyers in every state, so you are not limited to whoever happens to be selling in your area this month.
Fast, direct answers
Call, email or message us on Telegram. You get a real person who can tell you what is available and what it takes, not a form that disappears.
Paperwork done right
Filings, transfers and supporting documents are coordinated properly. Doing it wrong costs far more than doing it right the first time.
No surprises
Price, timeline and what is actually included are put in writing before you commit. If something is not going to work, we say so early.
One call covers all 50 states
Trucking does not stop at a state line and neither do we. Whether you are running regional out of Ohio or coast to coast, we can source and place authorities anywhere in the country.
That reach matters on both sides. Sellers get access to a much bigger pool of serious buyers instead of waiting on local interest. Buyers get real choice instead of settling for whatever is closest.
Four steps, start to finish
Tell us your situation
Call, email or message us. Say whether you are buying or selling and what you are working with. No long forms to start.
We give you the real numbers
You get an honest read on availability, value and timeline, including anything that could slow the deal down.
Terms in writing
Once both sides agree, everything is documented. Price, what is included and what each party is responsible for.
Filing and handover
We coordinate the filings and supporting paperwork through to completion, and stay reachable after the deal closes.
We are up when you are
Freight does not keep office hours, and neither does the stress that comes with it. Sleepless was built for the people who are still awake working out their next move at two in the morning.
Send a message whenever it makes sense for you. If we are up, you will hear back. If not, you will hear back first thing, not three days later.
Straight answers
An MC number is the operating authority issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that allows a company to haul regulated freight for hire across state lines. It sits alongside your USDOT number, which is your safety identifier. Most for-hire interstate carriers need both.
Age and history matter in trucking. Many brokers, shippers and insurance companies look at how long an authority has been active before they will work with you or quote you a competitive rate. A new authority starts with none of that. Buying an established one can shorten the runway, but it only makes sense if the authority is genuinely in good standing, which is exactly what we check before recommending anything.
Operating authority is tied to the entity that holds it, and any change of ownership or control has to be handled through the proper FMCSA process. It is not something you can simply hand over informally. We walk you through what the process requires in your specific situation and coordinate the filings. We are not a government agency and cannot guarantee an outcome, but we can make sure it is done the right way.
It depends on the authority, the parties involved and how quickly federal processing moves. Some deals come together quickly; others take longer if there are safety, insurance or filing issues to resolve first. We will give you a realistic timeline up front rather than an optimistic one.
Value comes down to age, safety and compliance record, whether it has been continuously active, any liens or liabilities attached, and current demand. There is no flat rate. Send us the details and we will give you an honest valuation at no cost and no obligation.
Yes. We are based in Springfield, Ohio and we buy and sell nationwide. Most of our conversations happen by phone, email or Telegram, so where you are located is not a barrier.

One conversation is usually enough to know whether a deal makes sense. It costs nothing to ask.
