Preparing for 3rd Quarter Fuel Taxes

Be sure to continue keeping track of your fuel and mileage for 3rd quarter which covers

July 1st - September 30th. This information will be due to our office by October 15th.

Fuel taxes filed after October 31st will be considered late, and 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 to every month your fuel taxes are late! 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. If you have an IFTA account and did not run in the 3rd quarter, we will still need a statement from you to file a zero return to the state on your behalf. Our fuel tax processing fee is $80 for the first truck/driver and $50 for each additional truck/driver per quarter. If the documents submitted are not organized, there will be an additional $25 charge per truck/driver. We look forward to continuing to serve all your trucking needs in 2024!

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 9, your

MCS-150 may need to be updated. If the number before the 9 is an even number, you must renew by the end of September this year. If the 9 is preceded by an odd number, you are not due for an update until September of next year.

MCS-150 UPDATE

CORPORATIONS

If you have a corporation in one of the following states, your renewal is based on your formation date. If you are unsure, please call a representative today.

Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming
