CVSA’s International Roadcheck May 13-15

This year's 72 hour inspection will focus primarily on the following two items:

-driver violation category

-vehicle violation category

During International Roadcheck, inspectors will primarily conduct the North American Standard Level I Inspection, a 37-step procedure that includes an examination of driver operating requirements and vehicle mechanical fitness. While all 37 steps will be completed, as usual, inspectors will also pay close attention to the driver’s record of duty status (RODS) and the vehicle’s tires.

   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 5, your MCS-150

may need to be updated. If the number before the 5 is an odd number, you must renew

by the end of May this year. If the 5 is preceded by an even number, you are not due for

an update until May of next year.

FUEL TAXES – If you have an IFTA account



           Fuel tax filings for 1st quarter 2025 are late as of May 1st. If you had 2024 IFTAs

and have NOT received your 2025 stickers, you are still required to file the 1st quarter fuel

taxes. The state charges a $50 late penalty or 10% of what is owed, whichever amount is

greater. Keep in mind that an additional 1% of your total is applied to every month your

fuel taxes are late; so do not delay in getting your information to us! If you have an IFTA

account and did not run in 1st quarter, we will still need a statement from you to file a zero

return. Make sure to keep track of your fuel and mileage for 2nd quarter 2025



which covers April 1st – June 30th. That information will be due to our office by July 15th.
