MCS-150 - Truck Dispatcher Training

MCS-150

The MCS-150 was first used to apply for a USDOT number, but now it is solely used to update your company’s information every two years as part of the biennial update.

If you don’t update your MCS-150 form, your USDOT number will be deactivated and you could be faced with a 💰$1,000 fee per day up to 💰$10,000. Note: You will be charged this fee even if none of your business information has changed within the past two years.

🏢FMCSA strongly encourages applicants to use the electronic online application process since it has built-in edit checks and simple yes-and-no questions for easy, accurate completion. It is also significantly faster than applying by mail. The estimated time

to complete the form online is approximately 20 minutes.
