FMCSA Updates & Biennials
Starting at $99
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires all entities under its jurisdiction to update their information every two years. This biennial update ensures that the FMCSA has current and accurate information about motor carriers and intermodal equipment providers.
Here are some key points about the biennial update process:
Frequency: Updates are required every 24 months.
Schedule: The update schedule is based on the last digit of your USDOT number.
Deadlines: The deadlines vary depending on the last digit of your USDOT number.
Consequences: Failure to complete the biennial update can result in deactivation of your USDOT number and potential civil penalties.
Unified Carrier Registration
Starting at $105
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) system is a federal program that requires carriers operating in interstate commerce to register and pay fees based on their fleet size. The UCR system was established by the Unified Carrier Registration Act of 2005 and replaced the former Single State Registration System (SSRS).
Here are some key points about the UCR system:
Registration: Carriers must register annually with the UCR. The registration process involves submitting information about the carrier and paying the required fees.
Purpose: The fees collected through the UCR system are used to fund state enforcement and compliance activities related to motor carrier safety.
Motor Carrier Authority
$300 + $149
Applying for Motor Carrier Authority involves obtaining the necessary operating authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to legally operate as a motor carrier in interstate commerce.
Here's a general overview of the process:
Determine the Type of Authority Needed: Depending on the nature of your operations, you may need different types of authority (e.g., MC, FF, MX numbers). Make sure to select the correct type relevant to your business.
Pay the Filing Fee: There is a $300 fee for each operating authority requested. This fee is non-refundable, so double-check your application before submitting.
Wait for Processing: The FMCSA has a 21–25-day vetting period that all applicants go through to acquire their authority. It will not be issued before this timeframe.
Drug & Alcohol Consortium
$215 per quarter +
cost of tests (price per person)
A Drug and Alcohol Consortium, also known as a Third-Party Administrator (C/TPA), helps employers manage their DOT drug and alcohol testing programs.
Here are some key points:
Management: C/TPAs handle tasks like maintaining testing records, conducting random testing programs, and ensuring compliance with DOT/FMCSA regulations.
Cost-Effective: Joining a consortium can reduce costs through economies of scale, making it more affordable for smaller employers.
Expertise: Consortia provide expertise in navigating complex regulations and handling unusual situations.
Responsibility: While a consortium manages the testing program, the employer remains responsible for full compliance with FMCSA rules
