1. Interstate Vehicles
If your commercial motor vehicle works interstate, some of the permits youll need to get include MCS-150, UCR, BOC-3, New Your HUT, Kentucky KYU, IFTA, Form 2290, and SCAC code.
2. Intrastate Vehicles
If you operate a commercial motor vehicle that runs intrastate routes, you will also need to get all the permits listed above, with slight differences depending on the state you are in.
Federal Motor Carrier Authority Filings LLC Services
FMCA Filings provides a wide range of filing and permit services targeted at helping commercial vehicle operators complete their registration quickly and easily. Some of their services include the following:
1. BOC-3 Processing Agent
BOC-3 process filing is a document that assigns an agent in each state to handle and forward legal documents for your transportation or logistics companies.
BOC stands for Bracket of Charge, which simply means that your company has representatives (entities or individuals) in all 50 states in the country who will receive and forward legal documents on your behalf.
It is an important form you must fill out before you commence your transportation business. But you might also need to complete a BOC-3 form when you change your business name or address or add an MC number. Generally, only the process agent can fill out a BOC-3 form, which means that you need to assign a representative before you can fill out one.
FMCA Filings provides reliable BOC-3 process agent services for commercial carrier companies at reasonable prices to help ensure that you are in line with federal requirements.
2. MCS-150
MCS-150 is a form that every trucking vehicle with a DOT identification number is mandated to fill out. The form contains crucial information such as the type of service, number of fleets, and size of the company that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires.
Every trucking company is required to update the MCS-150 form every two years. However, you will also need to update the form if you make significant changes in your business, such as modifying the companys name, changing the business name, switching operating authority type, and qualifying as a hazardous materials carrier.
It is essential to update your MCS-150 regularly as it allows the FMCSA to calculate your safety performance score and prevent unsafe driving accurately. Also, the failure to update the MCS-150 form can result in penalties, causing you to pay fines of up to $10,000.
However, you should note that the last two digits of your USDOT number determine when you will submit the MCS-150 form. This means that if your USDOT number ends with an odd number, you will submit the form in an odd year and if it ends with an even number, youll fill the form in an even year.
If your MCS-150 is outdated and needs renewal, FMCA Filings has experts who can walk you through the process and ensure you fill out the form at the right time.
3. Unified Carrier Registration (UCR)
The Unified Carrier Registration is a program under the Unified Carrier Registration Act, which replaces the Single State Registration Program. The program mandates all individuals and companies involved in interstate commercial travel or international business to pay an annual registration fee.
Your companys registration fee is calculated based on the size of the company and the number of your fleet. The income generated from the program is used to enforce traffic safety and train USDOT officials.
All companies and individuals involved in the commercial transportation business, as well as brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing services, are mandated to pay UCR Registration fees. Failure to comply with the UCR program can attract penalties and fines, and you may not be able to renew your truck registration.
FMCA Filings offers UCR registration services to help your business complete the registration on time and avoid penalties.
4. Other Filing Services
Aside from the services listed above, FMCA Filings offers other permit filings to assist commercial carriers in completing their registration. They provide state permits such as Kentucky KYU, New Mexico WDT, and New York HUT.
FMCA Filings also helps file other services such as adding an MC number to the USDOT number, getting an authority rating letter, completing compliance checks, getting a new USDOT Number, and requesting a copy of the UCR certificate.
