FMCSA Biennial Update Assistance

Avoid Fines. Keep Your DOT Number Active.


The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires every motor carrier, broker, and freight forwarder with a USDOT Number to file a Biennial Update (MCS-150 form). This filing is mandatory—even if nothing has changed in your company’s operations.


Failing to complete your Biennial Update can result in:  


  • Deactivation of your USDOT Number (you can’t legally operate)
     
  • Civil penalties and fines of up to $1,000 per day, up to $10,000 total
     
  • Targeting during audits and roadside inspections
     

Who Must File a Biennial Update?


All companies with an active USDOT Number, including:


  • Interstate motor carriers
     
  • Intrastate carriers (if your state requires a DOT number)
     
  • Brokers and freight forwarders
     

Even if you no longer operate, you must either update your records or officially inactivate your USDOT Number.


When is the Biennial Update Due?


Updates are due every two years, based on the last digit of your USDOT Number: 


  • The last digit determines the month your update is due.
     
  • The second-to-last digit determines the year (odd/even).
     

Example: If your USDOT Number ends in 5, your update is due in May. If the second-to-last digit is even, your update is due in even-numbered years (2024, 2026, etc.).


Why Many Carriers Get It Wrong


  • Missing deadlines because the FMCSA does not send reminders
     
  • Filing incorrectly, which can trigger unnecessary audits
     
  • Forgetting to update after business changes (address, fleet size, operations)
