The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requires most commercial motor carriers to obtain and maintain a DOT Number. TFIG takes care of new applications, updates, reinstatements, and reapplications so your business stays on the road legally.
For a one-time fee of $600, The Financial Integrity Group can obtain your DOT and ICC/MC numbers, Federal Identification Number, and BOC-3.
Starting a trucking business? You’ll need a DOT Number to operate legally. TFIG files the MCS-150 form and ensures you’re registered properly with the FMCSA.
Includes:
If your DOT number has been deactivated or revoked due to inactivity or non-compliance, TFIG can help reinstate it quickly.
Includes:
In accordance with FMCSA MCS-150 regulation 49 CFR Part §390.19, every two years all motor carriers are required to update their MCS-150 information with the FMCSA. This update must be completed in the appropriate month, every even or odd year, based on your DOT#, even if none of your information has changed, and regardless of when you last updated. Failure to complete a biennial update in your assigned month may cause deactivation of your USDOT number and could result in civil penalties of up to $1,000 per day (not to exceed $10,000).
The last digit of your DOT number determines the month your renewal is due (e.g. 1 is January, 2 is February, and so on). The second-to-last number of your DOT number – whether even or odd – should align with whether the current year is even or odd.
If your DOT number ends with the number 5, your MCS-150 needs to be updated every other year in May. If the number before the 5 is an even number, you must renew by the end of May of 2024, 2026, 2028, et al. If the 5 is preceded by an odd number, you are due to update in May of 2025, 2027, 2029, et al.
Includes:
If your DOT number was revoked and cannot be reinstated, a full reapplication may be required. TFIG walks you through the process to get back into active status.
