Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about the data, access or your workflow? If you can’t find the answer here, reach out.
How is the due date worked out?
- Under 49 CFR 390.19, the last digit of the USDOT number sets the month (1 for January through 9 for September, and 0 for October). The next-to-last digit sets the year: odd digits file in odd-numbered years and even digits in even-numbered years.
What happens if a carrier misses it?
- FMCSA can deactivate the USDOT number of a carrier that doesn't file its biennial update, and civil penalties can apply. A carrier also has to update the form when its information changes, not only on schedule.
Is this an official FMCSA service?
- No. It's a free calculator based on the published schedule. File the update itself through FMCSA, and confirm the carrier's status on SAFER.
