Hey! I'm your Tru Load authority filing assistant. I'm going to help you get your FMCSA operating authority. Let's start with the basics — what's your legal full name, exactly as it appears on your government ID?
Marcus Johnson
Perfect, Marcus! And what's your date of birth? FMCSA needs this to verify your identity on the application.
March 15 1988
Great. Next I'll need your Social Security Number. I know that feels sensitive — FMCSA requires it for the application. We encrypt it immediately using bank-grade encryption and never store it in plain text.
