Authority Revocation.

I believe you can call DOT and ask to have your number deactivated and it will still be there when you come back. Not sure how long you can go that way but you can just ask them. I'm sure you would have to re submit insurance to get it activated but might avoid some of the rest.

 

You need to get a PIN number so you can log in and "voluntarily suspend" it...otherwise I hear it gets shut down and you have to go through a bunch of crap to fix it.....I would request a PIN number if you didn't set one up at the beginning like I did.

 

Do we have to suspend anything else too? PUCO? NY HUT? IFTA?

I hope I never get slow enough that it makes sense to suspend.

I think even a month or 2 of major overhaul/paint/repair or whatever...I would still just leave it up. I pay my insurance all at once to save money so I would really have no benefit from suspending I guess...

 

No continue to file quarterly and check no activity this period if your not operating .

 

You can suspend your number,inactivate.
I think it cost $75 to reactivate when you file.

 

i would leave insurance and authority in place just have all your extra coverage dropped drop your lib to the 750k tell the insurance company the truck is going to be parked and get the rate as low as possible. it will probably be favorable in the long run as gaps in insurance are a bad thing when it comes to getting a good rate when your ready to re-new.

 

OK bringing this back to life. I am shutting down until August 22nd.

I used my pin at FMCSA and voluntarily suspended my MC.

I called my insurance guy and he will watch for the FMCSA to suspend it and then put me down to a minimum to avoid gaps.

So then just leave UCR and DOT alone? And file no activity quarterly for IFTA and HUT?
