A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF "TCP"
LICENSES....

WHAT IS TCP? 
TCP means "
Transportation Charter Party Carrier of Passengers" (TCP)

WHY TCP?

As you may already know, TCP is the quickest way to employ yourself and others in the transportation industry. THIS WEBSITE IS
OPEN 24/7 TO ASSIST YOU!

TCP LETTER DESIGNATIONS:

Remember, in California (the global leader in limousine and other transportation service standards),  the "letter" at the end of the TCP number signifies the scope of service you are authorized to provide....
          For instance TCP-###-A or TCP-##-B or TCP-##-P are "common carrier" licenses authorized to se
rve the general public on a pre-arranged, single-load, basis! You may apply as an individual (owner-operator), a limited liability company (LLC), a C-corporation, a partnership or other legal entity.

LET US HELP YOU! All you need now is follow the arrow and fill out the information for the license you need, and we get the correct applications (for the proper license for your business) for your signature and filing. Read more info on bottom of page.......▼

TCP-##-( A B P ) TCP##P = A PERMIT FOR 1 TO 14 PASSENGERS: TCP##A OR B = NO LIMIT TO SIZE OF VEHICLE + TRANSFERABLE CERTIFICATES . 
TCP-P IS A "PERMIT" THAT ALLOWS YOU TO OPERATE ANY VEHICLE  SEATING UP TO 14-PASSENGERS + DRIVER. ON THE OTHER HAND, TCP A OR B HAVE NO LIMIT ON VEHICLE SEATING CAPACITY. TCP A B OR P ALLOW YOU TO OPERATE LIMOUSINE, SEDAN, SUV, VAN, BUS, MOTORBIKE,  etc. AS COMMON CARRIER  TRANSP
ORTATION FOR-HIRE SERVICE FOR A SINGLE-LOAD OF PASSENGERS (ONE PERSON OR A GROUP) ON AN EXCLUSIVE, PRE-ARRANGED, CHARTER BASIS. YOU MUST ONLY CHARGE CUSTOMERS ON A $$/HOUR (TIME OF USE BASIS), OR $$/MILE BASIS. NOW, TCP-##-P IS A PERMIT: YOU MAY NOT SELL OR TRANSFER IT TO ANOTHER PARTY, SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO QUIT.
