MCS-150 Filing Service

Keep your USDOT number active and your motor carrier information current with the FMCSA. We handle your biennial MCS-150 update end-to-end — accurately and on time.

WHAT IS MCS-150?

The Motor Carrier Identification Report

The MCS-150 is the Motor Carrier Identification Report filed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Every entity operating commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce must have an active USDOT number — and to keep it active, you must update your MCS-150 every two years (biennially). The update must reflect your current company information, fleet size, and operations data.

Failure to file your biennial MCS-150 update results in your USDOT number being deactivated — which means you cannot legally operate until it is reinstated.

Who Must File the MCS-150?

You are required to file or update your MCS-150 if you operate any of the following in interstate commerce:

Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 10,001 lbs
Vehicles designed to transport 9 or more passengers (including the driver) for compensation
Vehicles designed to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver) not for compensation
Vehicles transporting hazardous materials in quantities requiring placarding

When Do You Need to File?

Biennial Update

Every two years based on your USDOT number. The filing window is determined by the last digit of your USDOT number and the calendar year.

Change of Information

Anytime your company information changes — new address, new fleet size, change in operations, new principals, or change in cargo type.

New Registration

When applying for a new USDOT number for the first time as a new motor carrier entering interstate commerce.

Reactivation

If your USDOT number has been deactivated due to a missed biennial update, you must file an updated MCS-150 to reactivate it.
