Friendly reminder for DOT number holders 👇

FMCSA’s new MOTUS system is almost here, and now is a good time to make sure your FMCSA Portal access is working and your information is up to date.

Before May 14, you should:
✔ Confirm you can log into your Portal
✔ Verify the correct Company Official is listed
✔ Update any outdated business information

A lot of carriers are realizing they either don’t have access anymore or have the correct Company Official set.

If you need help, we offer guided portal assistance for $50 and can walk you through the process step-by-step.

Message us or give us a call and we’ll help you get it handled before the deadline.

The countdown is on! Legacy FMCSA registration tools are retiring soon to make way for Motus | USDOT Registration System. Complete all in-progress registration applications and information updates in current systems by May 14 at 8 PM ET. Don’t wait until the final hour—ensure your business is ready for the transition by taking action today.

Heads up 👀

There’s a new system called MOTUS coming and action is required.

➡Log in to your Portal account to confirm it is active. If you don’t have an account, create one now. This critical action will allow you to quickly and easily claim your existing USDOT Number and create your company account in Motus when it launches.
➡Verify your Portal account user list. Ensure that the listed Company Official is the company owner or employee responsible for managing/updating FMCSA registration.
➡For a smooth transition into Motus, ensure that the most up-to-date information is on file for your business.

Important Note: FMCSA Portal accounts are disabled after 90 days and archived after 12
months of inactivity. If your account is disabled or archived, reach out to the FMCSA
Contact Center.

Taking a few minutes now can save you a headache later 👍

If you need assistance with setting up or navigating your Portal account, we're got you! We offer Portal Guided Assistance.
