Tennessee and Georgia For-Hire Versus Private Carriers or transporters of people.
Any time a passenger carrier receives compensation for transporting passengers, it is considered for-hire. Unless subject to an exemption, all for-hire passenger carriers in interstate commerce must:
•Obtain FMCSA operating authority registration (no matter how small or light the vehicles used);
•Obtain and file minimum levels of financial responsibility (insurance): $1.5 million for operating vehicles of 15 or fewer passengers including the driver; $5 million for operating vehicles of 16 or more passengers including the driver; and
•Designate a process agent, a representative that can be served with court papers in any legal proceeding brought against a motor carrier.
Tips for For-Hire Status
•A not-for-profit organization can be a for-hire passenger carrier if the organization receives compensation.
•For-hire does not require the transportation to be available to the public.
•If a trip includes both private passengers and passengers providing compensation, it is a for-hire trip.
