What is the deadline for your MCS-150 biennial update?

Your biennial update isn’t based on when you obtained your USDOT number; it must be filed every two years according to the last two digits of your number. This means you may need to submit an update just months after receiving your USDOT number.

All carriers are required to file this update every two years, regardless of whether their company information has changed, they have ceased interstate operations, or they are no longer in business but haven’t notified the FMCSA.

The next-to-last digit of your USDOT number determines the filing year—odd for odd-numbered years and even for even-numbered years. The last digit specifies the month in which your update is due.

What is the MCS-150 form?

The MCS-150, or Motor Carrier Identification Report, is a form that trucking companies must file with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to update their registration information. This form is used to provide details about the company’s operations, including fleet size, cargo types, and contact information.

Who needs to file a Form MCS-150?

All motor carriers operating in interstate commerce, including for-hire carriers, private carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies, must file a Form MCS-150.

How often should I update my Form MCS150?

If you’re a motor carrier operating under a USDOT number, you’re required to update your information every two years, even if no information has changed. This is known as the biennial update. Failing to file a biennial update can lead to penalties and deactivation of your USDOT number. But, if there are changes to your operation, such as changes in fleet size, address, or contact information, you must file an updated MCS-150. You do not have to wait for the biennial update deadline.

What happens if I fail to file or update my Form MCS-150?

Failing to file or update your Form MCS-150 on time can result in the deactivation of your USDOT number. This could prevent you from legally operating in interstate commerce and result in fines or penalties. Start filing now! It is quick and easy. Find our pricing here.
