Total FMCSA Compliance Services: Your All-in-One Solution at US Carrier

Navigating the federal requirements for the commercial transportation industry can feel like a
full-time job. For owner-operators and fleet managers, staying on top of every filing is critical—
not just to avoid fines, but to keep your operating authority active.
At US Carrier, we specialize in streamlining these regulatory obligations. We handle the
paperwork so you can focus on your operational priorities. Here is a breakdown of the essential
FMCSA compliance services we provide to keep your business moving.

1. New DOT Number & MC Authority (MC#)

Starting a new trucking business? Your USDOT number is your primary identifier, but if you
plan on transporting freight for-hire across state lines, you also need Motor Carrier Interstate
operating authority (MC#). We guide you through the initial application to ensure your
business is registered correctly from day one

2. BOC-3 Filing (Process Agents)

To activate your MC authority, the FMCSA requires a BOC-3 form. This registers process
agents in all 50 states who can receive legal documents on your behalf. US Carrier handles this
mandatory filing quickly and reliably, which is a key step in finalizing your authority.

3. UCR Registration (Unified Carrier Registration)

Every year, interstate motor carriers, brokers, and leasing companies must pay an annual fee
based on their fleet size. Through our portal at ucrplans.us, we make UCR registration fast and
easy, providing immediate confirmation so you stay compliant.

4. MCS-150 Biennial Update

Many carriers forget that the FMCSA requires a Biennial Update every two years. Failing to
update your Motor Carrier Identification Report (MCS-150) will result in the deactivation of
your USDOT number. We track your schedule and handle the update for you, ensuring your
information is always current.

5. Driver Qualification Files (DQF)

A DQF is a mandatory record for every driver you employ. During a safety audit, you must
present proof of medical certificates, driving records, and employment history. US Carrier helps
you maintain these files digitally, ensuring they are organized and “audit-ready” at all times.

6. Drug & Alcohol Testing & FMCSA Clearinghouse

Safety and sobriety are non-negotiable in the eyes of the FMCSA. All drivers operating vehicles
over 26,001 lbs. GVWR must be enrolled in a random drug and alcohol testing consortium.

At US Carrier, we provide a two-tier defense for your fleet:
 Testing Consortium: We manage your enrollment in a random testing pool, ensuring
you meet all federal mandates for pre-employment and annual testing.
 Clearinghouse Management: The FMCSA Clearinghouse is a digital database that
tracks violations. We handle your required annual queries and pre-employment
checks to ensure your drivers are eligible to stay behind the wheel. With the strict 2026
regulations, failing to conduct these queries can lead to immediate CDL downgrades—we
make sure that never happens to your team.
