The MCS 150 is a mandatory form required by the FMCSA for obtaining or renewing your USDOT number. Every motor carrier is required to update their details with FMCSA every two years or if there is any changes.
When you submit the MCS 150 form, the FMCSA utilizes your business details to compute a safety score via its Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program. This program collects data from state-reported crashes, roadside inspections, and investigations, associating relevant information with a carrier’s DOT number. The FMCSA analyzes this data, along with the information provided in your MCS 150 filing, to assess your overall safety performance.
