MCS-150 Bi-Annual Update Missed Oops

Got mine submitted today. We’ll see how soon it updates.

 

I didn’t even get to “something went wrong” when I was registering for the drug clearinghouse. It just sat there in process/think mode for a year and I just hired my consortium to take care of it……after I already purchased queries! (Of course it allowed me to give it money before it froze)

 

Checked and it’s updated already. Got lucky I guess.

 

I knew when I clicked the button to print it, that it was probably updated instantly.

 

Was your authority “Inactive” when you submitted this? If so did it get reactivated right away. I just forgot about this and I was “inactive” as of today but I need to run tomorrow…. I actually did send my update via email in January and they never updated so it’s technically on FMCSA. Do you think I can get this resolved? Also will this restart my authority so it looks like when I reactivate that’s when I started?

 

Were you ever charged any fines? I see online if you forget to update MCS 150 biennial update you can be fined $1,000 per day. Seems excessive for a simple mistake. Also did they reactivate you right away? I have to run the truck literally tomorrow and they just set my authority as “inactive”

 

My update has been submitted and accepted but NOT approved for almost 3 months. Every time I contact The FMCSA they say they have received my update and everything on it is correct but it has not been approved by an account manager yet. They have no projection as to when my update will be approved and my DOT # reactivated. Fortunately neither me or my driver has been stopped out of state yet. I've had to switch all 3 of my trucks to intrastate tags, not a huge deal as we stay in state a good bit and when we do leave there's only 1 scale we deal with regularly that's very easy to go around. But for you guys that run interstate I can't imagine the headache this situation would cause
