How long before we can
operate
You will receive your TCP number
in 7 to 10 working days at that time the 30 day mandatory waiting period will be
in effect. During the waiting period you will be notified by the CHP to
arrange a terminal inspection. Prior to the inspection you will be
enrolled in the DMV Pull Notice Program, you will need to have your bus(s)
available during terminal inspection, driver(s) must be pre-employment drug
tested, and all required insurance must be on file with the PUC.
It is currently taking between 45 to 60
days for this process to be completed by all the government agencies and you
may not operate any service that does not leave the state until receipt of your
operating authority.
When must we renew the
Authority
PUC Authority must be renewed every three (3) years at a cost of $500.00 for
each authority that you have. You will also pay a $15.00 per vehicle terminal
inspection fee every year.
You must file a PUC Tax
report, updated vehicle reports and insurance filings as required by the PUC for
your Authority to remain in good standing.
Is there a temporary
Authority
No you must not operate in intrastate
commerce until you have been granted authority.
