Louisiana Trucking Compliance

$75 flat (lifetime)

A BOC-3 designates a process agent in every US state so the FMCSA has a local point for service of legal process on your operating authority.

$199 service fee (plus the $300 FMCSA fee)

A USDOT number is the FMCSA safety identifier for commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce (and in-state operations where the state requires one); MC operating authority is the for-hire interstate license that lets you legally haul freight for compensation.

$90 first year, Bracket A ($55 federal fee + $35 service)

UCR is the annual federal fee that every interstate motor carrier, broker, and freight forwarder pays through their base state to fund safety and economic enforcement programs.

$175 service fee ($400 once for lifetime updates)

The MCS-150 is FMCSA's biennial check-in form for every USDOT holder - fleet size, driver count, operational mileage, and safety contact information.

From $115 per return

Form 2290 is the federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) return for trucks 55,000 lbs taxable gross weight or higher. Filing produces the stamped Schedule 1 - proof of payment that state DMVs require for truck registration renewal.

From $75 (varies by program)

State trucking permits cover any state-specific authorization, weight-distance tax, or commercial surcharge that stacks on top of federal UCR, MCS-150, and Form 2290 - required when operating commercial vehicles on a particular state's highways.

From $50 (MVR only); full pre-hire pack $175

Driver screening combines the Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), CDLIS query, Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) report, and FMCSA Clearinghouse query - the core pre-hire checks for a commercial driver position.

$200 DOT / $300 MC flat

Authority reinstatement restores a revoked or inactive MC operating authority once the underlying cause, such as lapsed insurance, a missing BOC-3 or an unpaid civil penalty, is cleared.
