EVERY 2 YEARS · EVEN IF NOTHING CHANGED
The MCS-150: a free form that can park your fleet
The biennial update costs $0 in government feesand takes down more carriers than any other filing — because nobody remembers a deadline that only comes every two years and is encoded in your USDOT number's digits.
Check your due date free — takes one second, no signup. If you want it handled, we file in FMCSA's Motus system and then watch the federal record until it shows your new filing date. Filed isn't done; verified is done.

How it works
- 1
We pull what the government already has
Your current federal record, prefilled — you only correct what changed: mileage, trucks, drivers.
- 2
You certify, we file
The MCS-150 certification is legally yours, so you approve the exact data before it's transmitted. We file it in Motus the same or next business day.
- 3
We verify the record moved
FMCSA's record must show the new MCS-150 date — we check until it does and send you the confirmation. That check is the difference between 'we submitted it' and 'you're safe.'
Straight answers
▸What is the MCS-150 biennial update?
A mandatory refresh of your carrier information that every USDOT number holder must file every two years — even if nothing changed, even if you didn't operate. Your deadline comes from your USDOT number's digits.
▸Is there a government fee?
No — $0, always. You can file it yourself free in FMCSA's Motus system. Our $69 covers doing it correctly (mileage, fleet counts, and classification errors follow you into audits and UCR brackets) and verifying afterward that the federal record actually shows the new date.
▸What if I miss my deadline?
FMCSA deactivates your USDOT number and can assess civil penalties up to about $1,000/day (max ~$10,000). If you're already deactivated, use our rush reactivation service instead — it's the same filing, front of the queue.
▸I also need to update my address — same filing?
Yes. Address, contact, and operational changes are due within 30 days on the same form. We handle change updates and biennial updates identically: filed, then verified.
