does anyone know if you can get a scac code online without paying $75 for it?

I know you can go to virgina and walk out with it for free or cheap I cant remember I done it about 3 years ago but cant remember who I went to.is it the ata that does that?

and what exactly is it used for I know some carriers and brokers want you to have one before you set up with them but I dont know why
can anyone enlighten me?

Oh ok. Unless somebody comes up with an answer sooner...I will ask a friend of mine who works in outbound cargo at work. (military) He may know how you apply for one.

thanks for the good link raceman.

that is cheaper than the $75 most want to file it for you.

and it is less than the cost of fuel to drive out there and do it myself but when I was out that way last time they told me if I mail in the application it takes 2 to 3 weeks to process and I just walked the aplication in last time and got it while I waited.I just cant remember what assn. I went to.I know I downloaded the aplication from some web site for free.

KW,

If you use the site I sent you in reply, you will have your SCAC in a few hours if you do it on a week day. $35 is what it will cost you.
I had mine in an hour and half. Just give them, via the web page, your MC# and your DOT# and Bingo, You have it. You can print it right off your computer and you are done.
