Biennial Update
Trucking companies and contractors are required to have a Department of Transportation (DOT) number affixed to the sides of their trucks. Trucks must have these numbers before they can begin transporting materials, and any new company or carrier has to apply for one before it can send vehicles out on the road.
Every two years, or biennially, the information associated with this number must be updated. That’s done by filing an MCS-150. This form gives the government the most current information on your fleet and your company. It ensures that the data available is current and accurate.
