We’ve Helped 1000s Get DOT Numbers

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
Number of people vehicle can carry
Single state or crossing state lines
Hazardous materials
We’ll guide you through every step of the application.
Lots of Federal & State
Rules to Follow
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) was established within the Department of Transportation to oversee Commercial Motor Vehicle Standards.
If requirements and compliances are not met, businesses and drivers can: pay steep fines, lose their licences, face liability, and/ or be criminally charged
Compliance Guidance We Specialise in.
DOT Number
A USDOT number is a unique identifier assigned to you by the Department of Transportation (DOT). This federally mandated number is used by the DOT/FMCSA as well as insurance companies and freight brokers to look up your company’s information and determine whether you’re in compliance.
Beyond the federal USDOT number requirements, some states have additional or different requirements. The experts at Truck On Rails can help determine what’s right for your situation.
Motor Carrier(MC)/BOC-3
Carriers that transport freight across state lines for hire need a Motor Carrier Interstate Operating Authority which is represented by a Motor Carrier (MC) number. In order to activate your MC number, and be authorized to cross state lines, a BOC-3 form must be filed with the FMCSA. A BOC-3 designates a processing agent to serve as a legal presence in any state where you do business.
The process of activating your MC number can take 20-24 days, so it is important to work with Truck On Rails’ specialist to ensure the process is completed correctly.
Contact us if you need to haul freight across state lines.
MCS-150(Biennial Update)
The MCS-150 is a form that must be filed to obtain or update your USDOT number. It’s also referred to as the Motor Carrier Identification Report.
MCS-150 updates, or better known as biennial updates, are required every two years and are an essential part of the process of maintaining a valid USDOT number.
There are many reasons why trucking companies must stay current with these biennial updates, not the least of which is the possibility of being fined or put out-of-service for non-compliance.
An MCS-150 update is also required when a trucking company changes its address, company name, or operating authority.
Working with our Compliance Specialists, you’ll have access to a vast amount of experience and knowledge to help you navigate MCS-150 filings and updates, keeping your trucking business compliant and running successfully.
Unified Carrier Registration(UCR)
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Program is a system created for registering and collecting fees from operators of vehicles engaged in interstate travel. This federally mandated program was created to supplement funding for state highway motor carrier registration and safety programs.
Motor carriers involved in interstate commerce as well as companies that make the arrangements for the transportation of cargo and goods are required to submit annual fees based on fleet size.
Truck On Rails will take care of registering your business and paying UCR fees through your base state on behalf of all participating states.
International Registration Plan (IRP)
The International Registration Plan (IRP), like many requirements in this industry, can seem confusing and a bit daunting. IRP is a reciprocity agreement between the contiguous 48 states and Canada. Each jurisdiction either helps in kind or penalizes in kind.
The agreement eases the process for apportioning payments of the registration fees carriers are required to pay based on their total distances they operate between jurisdictions on a quarterly basis.
Each commercial carrier, once registered, obtains a cab card indicating the states they are valid to do business in.
IRP registration and compliance is one of many specialties Truck On Rails can assist with and ease the burden on trucking operators.
