Submitting SCAC Applications as a Reseller

Resellers can submit SCAC applications for the carrier accounts that they manage after logging into their reseller account.

Please take note of the following: Resellers can purchase data products for themselves but not for the carrier accounts that they manage. This section is from the perspective of a reseller and for informational purposes so customer service can assist with this process. Resellers must be logged into their account to submit an application.

To submit a new SCAC application for a carrier account as a reseller:

1. Log into SCAC (see above Figure).
2. Click Manage SCAC, and then select Apply for SCAC.
   The Apply for a New SCAC Application wizard opens.
   

   Resellers will see a read-only screen as the first step in the application process. Resellers can edit the information displayed on this screen by going to their Account Profile to make updates.

3. A Possible Carrier Matches dialog box opens. Choose the carrier you wish to reassign and click Import and Continue. Or click Proceed with Manual Entry to continue.
   

   Please take note of the following: Selecting the Import and Continue option will autofill the carrier information on the Carrier Company Information screen in the Apply for a New SCAC wizard. Selecting the Proceed with Manual Entry option will leave the Carrier Company Information screen’s fields blank in the Apply for a New SCAC wizard. Resellers must be logged into SCAC to successfully complete a SCAC application for a carrier that they manage.

4. Review and confirm the carrier details on the Reseller Information screen. Click Next to proceed.
   

   Please take note of the following: This screen displays the reseller’s contact information as read-only so they can review and confirm. If they need to update their information, then they must go to their Account Profile and update their information, and then restart the application process. The reseller will enter the carrier’s information, the FMCSA information, the payment details, and then review prior to placing the order.

   
   
5. Check the Managed by Carrier after SCAC assignment checkbox if the carrier will be managing the SCAC. The remaining steps in the Apply for a New SCAC wizard are the same.
   See Filling out the Apply for a New SCAC Form. 
   

   If the Managed by Carrier after SCAC assignment checkbox is selected, then the initial payment at time of application is associated with the reseller account. However, the carrier’s Account Profile contains a line under Payment Details that states that the affiliated reseller account has the payment details. All future transactions, such as renewal, will be affiliated with the carrier’s Account Profile and not the reseller account.
