Questions
What does a new motor carrier have to keep up with?
The MCS-150 biennial update, annual UCR registration if you cross state lines, quarterly IFTA fuel tax returns for qualified vehicles, the IRS Form 2290 heavy vehicle use tax for trucks 55,000 lbs and up, Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse registration and annual queries for every CDL driver, and the New Entrant Safety Audit in your first year. On top of that: driver qualification files, a drug and alcohol testing program, hours-of-service records, annual vehicle inspections and an insurance filing that stays on file.
Does DOTScreener file any of this for me?
No. Every item links to the official place to do it, and almost all of them are free or a government fee. Never pay a third party to update your MCS-150.
How accurate are the dates?
The MCS-150 date comes from your USDOT number (49 CFR 390.19T). UCR, IFTA and 2290 are fixed federal dates. The New Entrant audit window and the Clearinghouse annual query are estimated from your registration date and marked as estimates.
What does Carrier Pro add?
An email 30 days and 7 days before every dated deadline, a daily watch on your FMCSA record with same-day alerts, broker screening and the bond claim kit. First month free, then $29.99/month.
