What Is FMCSA Form MCS-150? Biennial Update Filing in Illinois

If you're a motor carrier operating in or through Illinois, federal law (49 CFR Part 390) requires you to file your MCS-150 biennial update with the FMCSA every two years to keep your USDOT record current.

The MCS-150 biennial update keeps your USDOT registration current with the FMCSA, including your company address, vehicle count, and driver information for Illinois operations. A missed biennial update can lead to civil penalties and deactivation of the USDOT number (49 CFR 390.19T(b)(4)). Note: FMCSA has temporarily suspended enforcement of biennial updates and USDOT inactivation for updates due on or after June 1, 2026, until further notice.
