Your MCS-150 is due every 24 months — miss the window and FMCSA can deactivate your operating authority automatically, no grace period. Your authority can also be revoked or your insurance can lapse before that date, silently. Either way you can't legally dispatch a load, and you usually find out at a weigh station or when a broker won't tender freight. We watch it every day so that never happens to you.
We read your authority status and MCS-150 due date from FMCSA's public records. $149/yr, cancel anytime — no account, no login, nothing to install.
Search by your legal carrier name — no USDOT number to dig up, no login, no sensitive data.
We re-read your live FMCSA record daily and track every change that threatens your operating authority.
An alert the moment something slips — and reminders long before the MCS-150 deadline passes.
Third-party filing services charge $50–$300 to file an MCS-150 update that's free at FMCSA.gov. We're the opposite: we never charge to file anything — that's always free at FMCSA.gov and we link you straight to it. We charge $149/yr to stand guard, and we never ask for or store your EIN, banking details, or FMCSA Portal login. The most we ever hold is your email and a date.
No. DOT Sentinel is an independent monitoring service — not affiliated with FMCSA, the U.S. DOT, or any federal agency.
$149/yr to watch one carrier's operating authority every day, cancel anytime. Filing the MCS-150 at FMCSA.gov itself is always free — we never charge to file, and we link you straight to the official site. You're paying us to watch, not to file.
We store your email, your USDOT number, and your MCS-150 due date — nothing else. We never ask for or store your EIN, banking details, or your FMCSA Portal login. Those only ever go on FMCSA.gov itself.
We re-check your live FMCSA record every day and alert you the moment your operating authority status, insurance status, or MCS-150 due date change — plus reminders at 120, 60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 days out.
Anytime — one click, no lock-in, and every email has one-click unsubscribe.
