The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is urging carriers, brokers, and other registered transportation entities to prepare immediately as its legacy online registration systems are set to be retired on May 14, 2026.

Any business with a USDOT Number or operating authority (MC, MX, FF docket number) is being told to take action before the transition to the agency’s new registration platform, Motus.

According to FMCSA, affected users should:

• Log into their FMCSA Portal account and confirm it is active
• Create a Portal account if they do not already have one using their USDOT PIN
• Verify company details, operation classification, contact information, and authorized users
• Complete any needed company updates through the Biennial Update (MCS-150) section

FMCSA says inactive portal accounts are disabled after 90 days and archived after 12 months, meaning some users may need to contact the agency to restore access.

The new Motus platform will replace both the Unified Registration System (URS) and the current FMCSA Portal, with the agency saying the updated system will offer stronger fraud protection and a more user-friendly experience.

Once live, Motus will handle:
• New USDOT registrations
• Operating authority applications
• Biennial updates
• Company information changes
• Authority reinstatements
• USDOT number activation/inactivation
• Registration tracking
• Supporting document uploads

For many trucking businesses, this is a critical administrative deadline to avoid access issues during the system transition.

🚨 BREAKING: Georgia just proved… missing one exit turns into a full Atlanta adventure. 😭📍
You’re cruising down I-285…
music on, feeling good…
just trying to hit ONE simple exit…
Then it happens.
One missed sign.
One second too late.
One exit you swore you had…
…and now you’re:
• stuck on a loop that feels like it never ends
• watching your exit disappear like it took your plans with it
• trying to cross 5 lanes while everyone’s flying past at 80+ 😭
• staring at signs for I-75, I-85, Downtown, and “North/South” like… what even is north anymore??
• and your GPS calmly saying “recalculating…” like it’s not part of the problem 💀
In Georgia, missing one exit doesn’t mean a quick turnaround.
It means:
“Congrats… welcome to the I-285 loop. Enjoy your stay.”
You start off confident:
“I’ll just get off at the next exit.”
Ten minutes later:
“Why am I back where I started?”
“Why is every lane an exit-only lane??”
“Why is traffic completely stopped for no reason??”
“How did that car just appear out of nowhere??”
And don’t even try that last-second merge…
Because the moment you hesitate—
you’re DONE.
No space.
No signal respect.
Just speed, chaos, and pure Atlanta energy. 😭
Georgia doesn’t just test your driving.
It tests your patience…
your decision-making…
and your ability to accept:
“yeah… I guess I’m taking the long way now.” 😂
Georgia drivers — be honest:
What’s worse?
I-285… I-75… or I-85 during rush hour? 👀

MAY 12-14 IT’S COMING UP FAST DRIVERS, CHEAPER TO FIX IT NOW THAN TO GET PINCHED.

CVSA’s International Roadcheck Scheduled for May 12-14

From May 12 to 14, enforcement personnel throughout North America will inspect commercial motor vehicles and commercial motor vehicle drivers for compliance with vehicle, cargo and driver regulatory requirements as part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) 72-hour inspection, enforcement and data-collection initiative, International Roadcheck.

During International Roadcheck, inspectors at weigh/inspection stations and pop-up inspection sites primarily conduct the North American Standard Level I Inspection, a 37-step procedure that includes two major parts – an examination of the driver’s operating requirements and an assessment of the vehicle’s mechanical fitness.

For the driver portion of the inspection, inspectors check the driver’s qualifications, license, record of duty status, medical examiner’s certificate, seat belt usage, skill performance evaluation certificate (if applicable), and status in the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (in the U.S.). Inspectors also look for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. If an inspector identifies driver out-of-service violations, they will place the driver out of service, restricting that driver from operating their vehicle.

For the vehicle portion of the inspection, inspectors assess the vehicle’s brake systems, cargo securement, coupling devices, driveline/driveshaft components, driver’s seat, fuel and exhaust systems, frames, lighting devices, steering mechanisms, suspensions, tires, wheels, rims, hubs, and windshield wipers. Inspections of motorcoaches/buses and other passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles also include examination of emergency exits, seating, and electrical cables and systems in the engine and battery compartments. If out-of-service violations are found during an inspection, the vehicle will be placed out of service and restricted from movement until all out-of-service violations have been properly addressed.

A vehicle that successfully passes a Level I or V Inspection without any critical vehicle inspection item violations may receive a CVSA decal, which is valid for up to three months. A valid decal signals to commercial motor vehicle enforcement personnel that the vehicle was recently inspected and did not have out-of-service violations.

Each year, International Roadcheck places special emphasis on a driver violation category and a vehicle violation category to highlight those aspects of an inspection.

The driver focus for this year’s International Roadcheck is on electronic logging device (ELD) tampering, falsification or manipulation. During an inspection, the inspector will review the driver’s record of duty status as usual and check for false or manipulated entries, with a focus on ELD tampering.

Inaccurate ELD entries may result from a driver’s lack of understanding of the federal regulations and exemptions. However, in some cases, inaccurate entries are purposefully used to conceal hours-of-service violations, and some records are manipulated to conceal driving time (with no indication the record was edited as required by federal regulations).
