J. J. Keller DOT authority experts will make the process of updating or correcting an existing US DOT number easy for you. We work with private carriers, for-hire carriers, brokers, intermodal, interstate and intrastate carriers.
The Motor Carrier Identification Report (MCS-150) is the form filed to update or remove existing company records or reapply for a US DOT number after revocation. This form provides the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) with the details of your operation. Old or incorrect MCS-150 information can have serious consequences for your business, including deactivation of your USDOT Number and impacts to your safety performance scores.
Do you engage in for-hire transportation of passengers or commodities, meaning that you are paid to transport people or goods from Point A to B? If so, you will also need an MC number, giving you federal for-hire operating trucking authority to engage in this type of business.
