Free MOTUS Readiness Check for FMCSA Portal Accounts
FMCSA is launching MOTUS, their new registration system. If your FMCSA Portal account isn't up to date, you may be unable to claim your USDOT number when MOTUS goes live.
"It is critical that motor carriers, brokers, and other registered entities log in to the FMCSA Portal now to ensure their Portal accounts are up to date. Failure to take these steps may result in existing registrants being unable to claim their USDOT Number in MOTUS once the system goes live."
— FMCSA, in a direct communication to industry partners
FMCSA has not announced a launch date. That means you won't get advance warning. Act now or risk being stuck calling FMCSA trying to prove you own your own USDOT number.
FMCSA is asking every carrier, broker, and registered entity to complete these now.
Go to portal.fmcsa.dot.gov and confirm you can access your account. If you're locked out, fix that now.
Verify who FMCSA lists as your Company Official. If it's someone no longer with your company or a former compliance service, update it now — these permissions carry directly into MOTUS.
