MCS-150C
Also known as: Form MCS-150C, Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report

Definition
MCS-150C is the Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report, filed by intermodal equipment providers (IEPs) - companies that supply chassis and other equipment used to move intermodal containers. Like the MCS-150 and MCS-150B, it identifies the registrant in FMCSA’s system and is kept current under 49 CFR 390.19T, but it captures the equipment-provider role rather than a motor carrier’s fleet and mileage. Most owner-operators and fleets file the standard MCS-150, and hazmat carriers that need a safety permit file the MCS-150B; the MCS-150C applies only to IEPs.
