New Mexico and New York permits, UCRs, and IFTAs expired on December 31, 2022.
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 the 3rd quarter of 2022 need to be on file in order to receive 2023 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.
PRICES
IFTA - Varies by state
NM - $45 for the first truck and $20 per additional
NY - $35 for the first truck and $10 per additional
UCR - $125+ depending on the number of trucks listed

Your fuel taxes for 4th quarter 2022 are due to the state by January 31st. Our office
will need your trip sheets or log books with fuel receipts for October 1st –
December 31st. To avoid late fees, the paperwork should be in our office by January
15th. Once your fuel taxes have been processed, the documents will be mailed back
to you or can be held for pickup. If fuel taxes are filed after January 31st, the state
will charge a $50 late penalty or 10% of what is owed, whichever amount is greater.
Keep in mind that an additional 1% of your total owed is applied every month
your fuel taxes are late! If you have an IFTA account and did not run in 4th
quarter, we will still need a statement from you to file a zero return to the states on
your behalf. Our fuel tax processing fee is $80 for the first truck/driver and $40 for
each additional truck/driver per quarter. The processing
fee for a zero return is $45. You may send your information via fax, email, or mail.
When sending your fuel tax information through fax or email, please call us to be
sure we did receive it.

MCS-150 Update
In accordance with FMCSA MCS-150 regulation 49 CFR Part §390.19, every two years all motor carriers are required to update their MCS-150 information with the FMCSA. This update must be completed in the appropriate month, every even or odd year, based on your DOT#, even if none of your information has changed, and regardless of when you last updated. Failure to complete a biennial update in your assigned month may cause deactivation of your USDOT number and could result in civil penalties of up to $1,000 per day (not to exceed $10,000). If your DOT number ends with the number 1, your MCS-150 may need to be updated. If the number before the 1 is odd number, you must renew by the end of January this year. If the 1 is preceded by an even number, you are not due for an update until January of next year.

Drug and Alcohol Clearing House
January 6, 2023 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.
