Motor carriers can use nonlawyer reps

Beginning November 1, 2026, a motor carrier can choose not to hire a lawyer for certain state hearings. If the carrier is a corporation, LLC, LLP, or partnership, an officer, member, manager, or partner can speak for the company. This only applies to administrative hearings under the Oklahoma Motor Carrier Safety and Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. Other employees or outside nonlawyers cannot represent the company. It does not change who can represent parties in courts or other types of hearings.
