If an agent is registering a motor carrier, should they put their own principal (physical) address or the motor carrier’s principal (physical) address on the form?

Question:
If an agent is registering a motor carrier, should they put their own principal (physical) address or the motor carrier’s principal (physical) address on the form?
Answer:

An agent should enter the physical address where the motor carrier maintains their safety records. FMCSA will use this address for on-site visits to motor carrier for the purpose of conducting safety audits, compliance reviews, and other activities. For this reason, do not enter a P.O. Box as the principal (physical) address, or processing of the company’s application will be delayed.
