USPS TRACKING

If you would like us to add a tracking number to the mail we send out to you,

there will be a $4.00 additional charge per envelope. It seems especially around

the holidays that there are many delays with mail and this will allow you to track

your packages once they are sent out - https://www.usps.com/ .

PERMITS

Permits for New Mexico, Oregon, IFTAs expired December 31 ^st .

You only need permits for New Mexico and Oregon if you are running

through those states; otherwise, UCR and IFTAs are all you will need to renew

to continue crossing state lines. If you have not already renewed these, you are not

in compliance with DOT and may be susceptible to a fine.

If you will be renewing your IFTA stickers, keep in mind that your fuel taxes

through 3 ^rd quarter 2019 need to be on file in order to receive 2020 IFTAs. If you

will not be running out of state or if you plan on shutting down your business,

please contact a fuel tax representative to ensure everything is filed correctly.

Remember that our permit specialists here at TFIG can also help you in

getting your trip, fuel, over-sized and overweight permits. We will review details

of your load to ensure that you meet each state’s requirements for safe

traveling.

Drug and Alcohol Clearing House

Drug and Alcohol Clearing House:

January 6, 2020 is the mandatory effective date for the use of the Clearinghouse

mandated by Congress to report and query information about driver drug and alcohol

program violations. Employers must conduct both electronic queries within the

Clearinghouse and manual inquiries with previous employers to cover the preceding three

years. The Clearinghouse will improve highway safety by helping employers, FMCSA,

State Driver Licensing Agencies, and State law enforcement to quickly and efficiently

identify drivers who are not legally permitted to operate commercial motor vehicles

(CMVs) due to drug and alcohol program violations. This secure online database will

provide access to real-time information, ensuring that drivers committing these violations

complete the necessary steps before getting back behind the wheel, or performing any

other safety-sensitive function. Get News and Updates about the Clearinghouse by
