MCS-150 Bi-Annual Update Missed Oops

Just get it done and keep on trucking in the mean time. You’re not the first person and won’t be the last.

Its important to not mess up obviously. But, there are much worse things to overlook then the MCS-150.

 

Kinda funny if you update your info on your own it doesn’t reset the clock sort of speak.

 

I am in The same place as you…

have to hand write it and fax it to them - just retarded

 

I can make you feel better..

took my truck off the road last year in July. Decided I didn't need to pay for my 2290 since the truck wasn't going to be worked for awhile, since I run out of money.
Well I still want to keep my authority active and my irp/ifta active, I totally forgot I needed the 2290 to renew my plates !
Went to file it last minute , of course the irs is closed from mid December to mid January. Wasn't able to have it accepted by the government until mid January. now my IRP is overdue since i cant renew without it, and then on top of that I got charged for 6 month of late fees by the irs as well as 6 months interest... turned a $550 payment into over a $1700 f up.

When I filed this year I realized you can claim an "exemption" if truck is worked for less than 5k miles or whatever the threshold is... doesn't even cost any money but you still get all the paperwork so you can renew plates..

Yeah I am a grade A dumb ###

 

I always did it yearly just to make sure I wouldn't forget. You're right though. They could care less how many times you do it but it better be every other year no matter what method you choose. I would certainly keep running as normal but get it squared away ASAP before they fine and/or revoke. If you remedy the situation as soon as you get your password letter you'll have no issues.

 

tje password does no good - the system does not allow you to do it electronically right now. I have my password and the functionality is removed

 

Something doesn't sound right. You should be able to update your MCS150 online with that password any time.

It looks like they may have changed the process. I always logged in from Safer and did it that way. It looks like now they want you to use something called, "Ask FMCSA", fax or snail mail.

No, you’re not. As you know the best lessons learned are often times the ones that cost you the most! Hopefully you can get back into the game and find something that works for you.

 

Gov't agencys create all these hoops in the hope you will F it up so they can fine you . My take anyhow.
