WHO MUST FILE THE UPDATE?




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United States Department of Transportation Biennial Update is a federal
requirement pertaining to and required of all entities operating under a
federally-issued U.S. DOT Number. A U.S. DOT number is a "number" issued by the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) that "tags" your vehicles
with the federal Department of Transportation thereby making your vehicles
available for monitoring and safety performance analysis.


Do I Need a DOT Number?
A U.S. DOT number is required for all vehicles that meet any of the following
criteria:

 * 10,000+ lbs in GVWR
 * Transports 8 or more passengers for compensation
 * Transports 15 passengers not for compensation
 * Transports Hazardous Materials per 49 CFR 385.403



and operate interstate (cross state lines or transport goods originating from or
with a destination outside of the home state). Some states require a federal
U.S. DOT number even if the vehicle is involved only in intrastate travel (never
crosses state lines). These states are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New
Jersey, New York, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.


State Regulations vs Federal Regulations


It is important to differentiate between state and federal regulations. Some
states may require a motor carrier to obtain a state DOT number in addition to
the federal DOT number. Other states may require a motor carrier to obtain an
operating authority or a Commission of Commerce number. While these are valid
requirements and your compliance with them is mandated by your state, it should
be stressed that motor carriers must comply with federal regulations, such as
the Biennial Update, in addition to complying with state regulations. This may
be confusing to motor carriers that operate within state lines (intrastate
carriers) and are normally not subject to federal requirements but it should be
stressed that the DOT number is issued by the federal government and therefore
all motor carriers operating under such number are subject to federal
regulations.





WHEN MUST THE BIENNIAL UPDATE BE FILED?




The Biennial Update has a filing deadline unique to each U.S. DOT number. To
determine your filing period locate the last 2 digits of your U.S. DOT number.
The last digit indicates the month when the filing must take place. The
second-to-last digit indicates the year when the filing must be completed (an
odd number mandates a filing in an odd year and an even number mandates a filing
in an even year).

EXAMPLE:
U.S. DOT number '384983' ends in the digit '3' which corresponds to the third
month of the year, March. The second-to-the-last digit is '8' which is an even
number which correspond to an even year. As such, this motor carrier must file
their update in March of even-numbered years. Note that the last digit
corresponds to the months 1-9 (January - September) while 0 indicates the month
of October. No filings are scheduled for November and December.
