aMC/MX (ICC) refers to interstate for-hire motor carriers and brokers that apply for operating authority. The MX number is assigned to carriers domiciled in Mexico, and the MC number is for all other carriers and brokers. The majority of large trucks assigned MC/MX (ICC) numbers also have US DOT numbers. If a US DOT or State number is not available at the time of the crash, the MC/MX (ICC) number is reported on the Police Accident Report. | ||||||||||
