DOT How it works
We pull your carrier record from FMCSA's public data on data.transportation.gov.
We apply the official schedules (49 CFR 390.19T, the UCR Plan, IFTA and IRS rules) and show what's due next.
Add your email and we'll remind you before each deadline. You file directly with the agency.
What we track
Find your MCS-150 biennial update month and year from the last two digits of your USDOT number, with the official FMCSA schedule.
The Unified Carrier Registration window, the before-January-1 deadline, and the 2027 fee brackets from the UCR Plan.
IFTA returns are due the last day of the month after each quarter: January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31.
Form 2290 is due August 31 for vehicles in use in July, or the last day of the month after first use. Applies at 55,000 lbs and up.
The BOC-3 is a one-time filing naming process agents in each state. It is required before FMCSA grants operating authority.
IRP registration renewal dates are set by your base state. Here is how to find yours.

How that compares: MCS-150 Update lists its Carrier plan at $39 a year for up to 3 USDOT numbers (their pricing page, checked October 2026), so ours is about half that. Filing directly with the agencies costs you nothing extra for reminders; you just have to remember the dates.
Why not just use my calendar?
A calendar reminds you of a date you already know. DOT Due Dates works out the dates for you and keeps checking them.
| Phone calendar | DOT Due Dates Carrier plan ($19/yr) | |
|---|---|---|
| Figures out your due dates | No, you look up each rule | Yes, from your USDOT number and FMCSA record |
| Notices changes | No | Re-checks FMCSA public data daily: MCS-150 filings, USDOT status, power units, operating authority changes |
| Tells you what to file and where | Only what you typed | Form, official site, and the officially stated consequences, with the source |
| UCR fee bracket | No | Calculated from the power units on your FMCSA record |
| Who gets reminded | Your phone | Up to 3 emails (owner, office, bookkeeper) |
| Multiple USDOT numbers | Manual | Up to 3 |
| Works with your calendar | It is your calendar | Yes, a subscribable calendar feed (Google, Apple, Outlook) |
| Cost | Free | $19/year |
Being straight with you: if you only care about one date a year and you're good at keeping track, a calendar entry is fine, and our free MCS-150 reminder costs nothing.

Questions
Is this a government website?
No. DOT Due Dates is an independent private service. It is not affiliated with FMCSA, USDOT, the IRS, the UCR Plan or any state. Every filing we remind you about can be done directly with the agency.
Where does the carrier information come from?
Public FMCSA data published on data.transportation.gov, such as the company census file. It can lag behind FMCSA's live records by days or weeks.
How is my MCS-150 due date figured?
Under 49 CFR 390.19T, the last digit of your USDOT number sets the month (1 = January ... 0 = October) and the next-to-last digit sets odd or even years.
Do you file anything for me?
No. We only send reminders. We never file, and we never ask for your FMCSA, Login.gov, IRS or state logins.
What do the free reminders include?
Email reminders before your MCS-150 biennial update for one USDOT number. The lookup itself shows all your deadlines for free.
What does the paid plan add?
For $19 a year: reminders for UCR, IFTA quarterly returns, Form 2290, IRP renewal and MCS-150; a daily re-check of your FMCSA record with change alerts; what to file and where in every reminder; up to 3 USDOT numbers and 3 email recipients; and a calendar feed.
Why not just put it in my phone calendar?
You can, and for one date that works. The catch: you have to work out each date yourself (the MCS-150 month and year come from your USDOT digits, UCR fees change by fleet size and year, IFTA is four dates a year, 2290 depends on first-use month), and a calendar entry never notices when something changes. The Carrier plan figures the dates from your FMCSA record, re-checks that public record every day, tells you what to file, where, and what the official rules say happens if it's missed, emails up to 3 people, and gives you a calendar feed so the dates land in your phone calendar anyway.
How do I stop reminders?
