hello, thank you for your help. I have a question for the millage if we have more than on vehicle . Do we have to provide total amount of millage of all of the vehicle or only one of them ?
This year Im adding two more trucks to my small company but those two trucks are from an owner operator. when I do the changes Do I fill it out as owned or leased? Excellent video by the way.
Very good video just to be sure, I have only 7 months with my dot / mc active right now (08/2021), but I have thousands of emails and calls that assure that I should do the update, should I do it or when is it time to do it?
You can do your MCS-150 Update at any time. You just need to be sure it's not beyond mandatory date of renewal. The emails and 3rd party aggressive marketing never stops. We definitely do not recommend using the spammers services. If you need help hit us up at info@frontrangecompliance.com.
Such a great informative video. thanks, a lot. can you please advise I started my company in Jan 2022, do I deed to update MCS -150 milage for year 2021? Thanks, and Bless you.
Just put in your milage for 2021 if you were operational. Then on the next update of the MCS-150 to can update it wit the actual annual milage for your fleet.
How can I get hazmat safety permit I do have USDOT do I need different USDOT for update mcs-150B ..my MC# not active yet due to insurance do I need to wait for MC# active then I can get hazmat safety permit mcs-150b..??
Thank you for your video. I've a quick question. I got my authority early February, 2022. Do I need to update my MSC-150 this year, 2022 because the last 2 digits of my USDOT indicate that I've to update it in August every 2 even years? If yes, what year should I put in the mileage reporting year section? Like I said earlier, it's a brand new authority. Thank you
Well, you are right in the crack of things. It's not a bad idea to update just to keep the spammers away. But honestly, I'd just update in 2023 and then again in 2024 and then you'll be un the correct track. I personally like to update my clients annually just to keep the Spammer Scammers at bay.
Thank you very much for take your time for us. I received a letter from FMCSA that says my application was reviewed and accepted (USDOT number and MC number), but to operate legally I need insurance, BOC-3 and file and send form MCS-150. after that FMCSA confirmed DOT/MC numbers how many days I have to present the 3 requirements above and my application doesn’t be dismissed.
Augusto, now that the FMCSA has accepted your application there is a 30-35 day waiting period before they grant the authority. During that period you need to file and upload your BOC-3 (Civil Processing Agent) and get the insurance company to E-file the BMC-91x (Federal Insurance Filing) for the correct limits and will be defined by the authority and cargo you transport. General For-Hire motor carriers will be the filing to be for $750,000. Remember to get insurance copy of the MCS-90 and keep a copy in your office files. If you need help reach out to us at info@frontrangecompliance.com. We have solutions for you.
Hi there Thank you so much for the video at the mileage part what do we write ? Right now it said 1 m and 2020 - should I write 2021 and the current mileage?
Great Question. When you are just starting the MCS-150 enter 1 mile at the beginning. Then after your first year, complete an update and add your actual mileage.
On the last page, how do you come up with the milage figure? Is it a made up number or actual number from your IFTA? ALSO, with the current year being 2021, am I putting that as the reporting year as well? Ours was last done in July of 2020, am I correct to say it's not due until July of 2022?
Great questions, Use your actual CMV fleet milage. If that is all and only IFTA then it should be simple. If you have other CMV's in your fleet like pickups and trailers or box trucks you will need to figure those mile in as well. Since it's 2021, you should report on the MCS-150 what your mileage was for 2020. You could use a projected mileage for 2021. Honestly, you just want it to be a close actual representation to your fleets actual mileage.
I was put on out of service at my fmcsa portal for my box truck because of the missing mileage, it was entered asap but how long does it take to become active again once this small correction is made? And how much should this cost me?
The update to your MCS-150 is free if you do it through the FMCSA website. The online third party venders will charge anywhere from $100-$600 in my experience. For our clients we do it as part of the service we offer. It takes like 5 minutes. Your Update to the MCS-150 should be corrected on Safer in 24 hours and you should be listed as active. But if your operating authority has been also shut down there could be a 2 week to 30 day delay. If you want me to take a look email me your USDOT # to info@frontrangecompliance.com.
Quick question when I opened my dot permit I messed up on a question about insurance I put 300k when it should be 750k so now I can’t get quoted for Insurance bc they need at least 750k but I have no clue how to change that does anyone know how to do it or do I need to call fmcsa thanks hopefully someone can help me have a good day
Most likely you applied for the wrong authority. This happens all the time and can be very difficult to get corrected. Reach out to us at info@frontrangecompliance.com and we can give you some guidance or help you with it.
EIN changes may be more difficult and require more documentation to be sent to the FMCSA. Generally, this type of update, would require paper MCS-150, Articles of Incorporation, copy of the IRS FEIN Letter, and written explanation of why the EIN is changing. If you needs help, you can email us at info@frontrangecompliance.com
Absolutely, if the MCS-150/USDOT information needs to have any information updated or corrected it can be done within the MCS-150 update. Unfortunately, some of the state partners who link to the federal program are extremely slow updating their information.
I’m a new authority as of 9/9/21 I been running for about a week I’ve been receiving an extreme amount of calls and emails about my mcs150 been out of date, after watching your video which was very helpful I need to know what year do I use on my update 2020 or 2021? I figured 2021 because I wasn’t established last calendar year, correct?
Your update is due based on the last two digits of your USDOT number. The last number is the corresponding month 1=January 2=February etc. The second to last number specifies odd or even years.
Great Question, You do not need to update the MCS-150 when you add a truck. You can simply wait for the update interval. With our clients we generally update annually, just before a compliance audit, or if the is a significant change to the program. Such as an address change or major change in equipment and drivers.
While you are setting up your company you will need t get this process started. If you are applying for Interstate operating Authority the process can take 30 days. If you later decide to not move forward the USDOT Number can be deactivated.
Thank you for the video. So on the FMCSA website it shows MCS-150 form date is: 09/09/2021. Does that mean I need to renew anything because I keep getting emails it needs to be renewed by May. My DOT # ends in 65
The emails are scammers, They never stop!!! If the last two numbers are 65, your update is due by the end of May, even number years. This year it is due. Since you did it in September you have two years, but remember, Sept 2023 the 2 years will laps and you'll be in violation. I say just do it again in May and then you'll be good until May 2024.
Your MCS-150 should have been updated when you applied for the authority. The process does take 21 days for the FMCSA to grant authority. As long as all the necessary documents (BOC-3 and Insurance BMC-91X) are filed the authority should be granted 21-25 days after the application is submitted. If the application was denied, then yes, a new updated MCS-150 will need to be filed.
When applying for operating authority you have to update the MCS-150 and complete the OP-1 Application. As long as the applications was completed recently then no you should not need to do another update. However, when in doubt you can complete an update anytime.
You need to complete and update to the MCS-150. That will correct the portal to your actual numbers. It may take 24 hours or longer for the Portal to reflect your updated changes. If you need help contact us at info@frontrangecompliance.com and one of our account managers will be glad to visit with you.

When you operate as private property and add authorized to hire ,Is there a waiting period ?
new authority what mileage do I put just got active yesterday?
For first time registration just place 1 mile in the field. On your next update you will need to insert the actual mileage.
Thank you for the video so much!. Do you I need to submit my MC-150 update to my insurance? Or is that separate for the Motor Carrier?
Your insurance company should not need a copy of the MCS-150. We don't generally provide that to insurance carriers.
Thank you for your video. I've a quick question. I got my authority early February, 2022.

So If I started it this year I shouldn't have to renew until the next year or the next 2 years ?
Well, that depends on the last two number of your USDOT number.
Just did my, thank you. How long does it take to update after I've done my filings electronically?
Usually with in 24 hours.
Thank you very much for take your time for us.

Once you do your update, fill in wit the fleet actual milage for the previous year.

Great Question. When you are just starting the MCS-150 enter 1 mile at the beginning. Then after your first year, complete an update and add your actual mileage.
What about when you are 3 months in ? Would I put 1 mile also

What if I don’t own a truck but I am renting
If you have a USDOT number, you must keep it update.
Can i change my ein# through this process?
EIN changes may be more difficult and require more documentation to be sent to the FMCSA.

How to change EIN?
You'll need to talk to the IRS about that one.
So anytime I add a truck to my company I add it on here or wait until it's due for a update? Thanks
Great Question, You do not need to update the MCS-150 when you add a truck. You can simply wait for the update interval.

Just wanna get this clear ... I applied for my authority today .. do I need to file mcs-150 today ?
Hey buddy what about your owner operators? Or is the MCS 150 for company drivers only?
Owner operators have to do the MCS-150 also. Unless they are working under someone else's authority.
Do I need to update my MCS150 if I just started my authority?
When applying for operating authority you have to update the MCS-150 and complete the OP-1 Application. As long as the applications was completed recently then no you should not need to do another update. However, when in doubt you can complete an update anytime.
