Navigating compliance in the trucking industry involves more than just managing freight weights and fuel taxes. Logistics companies must adhere to various regulations and mandates issued by government bodies such as the General Safety Regulations, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Department of Transportation (DoT) in USA, and for our Australian Customers we make NHVAS Accreditation clear, simple and easy to follow. This includes overseeing commercial driver licensing, vehicle maintenance, Hours of Service (HoS), Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), among other factors. To effectively handle these complexities, logistics companies often rely on third-party providers with specialized technology and process expertise.

Whether you’re starting a new trucking company or looking to take the next step in your growing business, forming a Limited Liability Company is a popular option that helps reduce your personal liability.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a nine-digit number the IRS assigns to businesses for tax filing and reporting. EINs are required to file taxes for businesses registered with the IRS.
TCS will get you setup with an EIN as part of our Managed Services.
A USDOT number is a unique identifier assigned to you by the Department of Transportation (DOT). This federally mandated number is used by the DOT/FMCSA, as well as insurance companies and freight brokers, to look up your company’s information and determine whether you’re in compliance.
Beyond the federal USDOT number requirements, some states have additional or different requirements. The experts at Transportation Compliance Service can help determine what’s right for your situation.
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Program is a system created for registering and collecting fees from operators of vehicles engaged in interstate travel. This federally mandated program was created to supplement funding for state highway motor carrier registration and safety programs.
Motor carriers involved in interstate commerce as well as companies that make the arrangements for the transportation of cargo and goods are required to submit annual fees based on fleet size.
Transportation Compliance Service will take care of registering your business and paying UCR fees through your base state on behalf of all participating states.
Carriers that transport freight across state lines for hire need a Motor Carrier Interstate Operating Authority which is represented by a Motor Carrier (MC) number. In order to activate your MC number, and be authorized to cross state lines, a BOC-3 form must be filed with the FMCSA. A BOC-3 designates a processing agent to serve as a legal presence in any state where you do business.
The process of activating your MC number can take 20-24 days, so it is important to work with a TCS specialist to ensure the process is completed correctly.
Contact us if you need to haul freight across state lines.
As a trucking company, you and your drivers are always on the move. Keeping your organization’s policy and procedure manual up-to-date can be a challenge. Yet, any changes in your operations, fleet, or changes to permitting and state and federal regulations will necessitate immediate updates that will need to be communicated throughout your organization.
Look to TCS to help keep your drivers on the road with up-to-date policy and procedure manuals.
IFTA, or the International Fuel Tax Agreement, is a cooperative agreement among the lower 48 states and Canada, which allows commercial carriers to average out their fuel and mileage to determine the quarterly tax liability.
Similarly, the International Registration Plan (IRP) is a reciprocity agreement between the contiguous 48 states and Canada. It eases the process for apportioning payments of the registration fees carriers are required to pay based on their total distances they operate between jurisdictions every quarter.
Managing IFTA and IRP registration and quarterly compliance is one of many services TCS Compliance Specialists can assist with and ease the burden on trucking operators.
The heavy vehicle use tax is an annual tax levied by the IRS on vehicles operating on public highways at taxable gross weights of 55,000 pounds or more. Taxable gross weight is a combination of the unloaded weight of the vehicle plus the unloaded weight of any trailers used in combination with the vehicle plus the weight of the maximum load carried on the vehicle and any trailers used in combination with the vehicle.
TCS will help you navigate the complexities, deadlines, and confusion associated with IRS tax or let you know if your company’s operations fall under one of the HVUT exemptions.
When it comes to determining your rates for commercial trucking insurance, the FMCSA is very specific. Depending on your company’s operations and driver experience, your insurance can be rather expensive or relatively cheap.
Our partnerships with insurance companies can help determine your commercial insurance requirements.
