FMCSA region
FMCSA Eastern Service Center
Vermont carriers run freight through major corridors like I-89 and I-91. Freight hubs in the state - Burlington Logistics and Montpelier Distribution, plus Brattleboro Hub - drive a compliance burden that touches every carrier operating in or through Vermont: federal filings through FMCSA and IRS, plus Vermont-specific surcharges. Vermont is small and dominated by the I-89 / I-91 corridors plus US-7 north-south. Dairy, maple, and timber freight drive in-state carrier volume. Vermont State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement runs weigh stations at the I-89 and I-91 northern plazas. Spring-thaw weight restrictions on rural routes (typically March through May) trigger seasonal route changes for heavy haulers.

Filings Vermont carriers need
BOC-3 Filing
$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.
USDOT & MC 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.
UCR Registration
$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.
MCS-150 Update
$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.
Form 2290 (HVUT)
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.
State Trucking Permits
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.
Driver Screening
From $50 (MVR only); full pre-hire pack $100
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.
Authority Reinstatement
$275 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.
Vermont state-level surcharge
On top of federal UCR, MCS-150, and Form 2290.
No state weight-distance tax beyond IFTA; weight restrictions on rural state routes during spring thaw
