Registration & filing

USDOT, MCS-150, and UCR

Get registered correctly the first time and keep your FMCSA record current. Since May 2026, FMCSA registration runs through Motus, its new online system.

Ask about this

What's included

  • New USDOT number registration
  • MCS-150 and biennial updates
  • Deactivate or reactivate USDOT records
  • Update vehicle miles traveled
  • Unified Carrier Registration (UCR)
  • SCAC support

Why it matters: FMCSA requires every USDOT holder to update its MCS-150 every 24 months, even if nothing changed. Missing it can lead to deactivation and civil penalties.

Programs

Drug & alcohol and Clearinghouse

Employers of CDL drivers need a DOT drug and alcohol testing program under 49 CFR Part 382, plus FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse queries and reporting.

Ask about this

What's included

  • Drug and alcohol consortium enrollment
  • Clearinghouse setup and guidance
  • Pre-employment and annual query help
  • DER (Designated Employer Representative) training
  • Reasonable suspicion training for supervisors

Why it matters: Not having a drug and alcohol program is one of the violations that automatically fails a new entrant safety audit.

Audits & reviews

Audit preparation and compliance reviews

Get ready for a new entrant safety audit, compliance review, or investigation, and recover after problems are found.

Ask about this

What's included

  • New entrant safety audit preparation
  • Compliance reviews
  • Driver qualification file organization
  • Hours of service and maintenance record review
  • Out-of-service support
  • Operational compliance guidance

Why it matters: New carriers are monitored for 18 months and receive a safety audit within the first 12 months of operation.

Authority & specialty

Operating authority and HazMat

For-hire interstate carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders need operating authority in addition to a USDOT number. HazMat shippers and carriers have their own registration and permit rules.

Ask about this

What's included

  • Motor carrier and broker authority
  • Freight forwarder support
  • HazMat registration and permits
  • Specialty and multi-jurisdiction requirements

Why it matters: Operating authority requires insurance and process agent (BOC-3) filings before it becomes active.

Accounting

Bookkeeping and recordkeeping

Cleaner books make filings, audits, and tax time easier. We help commercial businesses stay organized month to month.

Ask about this

What's included

  • Bookkeeping for commercial businesses
  • Expense tracking and categorization
  • Recordkeeping organization
  • Accounts cleanup support
  • Business reporting preparation
  • IFTA and IRP recordkeeping practices

Why it matters: IFTA and IRP rely on accurate mileage and fuel records, and auditors expect them to be complete and retained.

Training & education

Training for drivers, supervisors, and staff

Training closes the gap between paperwork and real-world operations.

Ask about this

What's included

  • General awareness
  • HazMat placarding, classes, and markings
  • DER training
  • Reasonable suspicion training
  • CDL driver training support
  • New entrant audit training

Why it matters: Supervisors of CDL drivers need reasonable-suspicion training (49 CFR 382.603), and HazMat employees need recurrent training at least every three years.
