Compliance Services for Trucking Companies

Operating a trucking business requires compliance with federal transportation regulations. Athena TS provides assistance with the filings and updates carriers need to remain active and compliant.

Our services are designed to simplify regulatory processes and help trucking companies maintain proper documentation.

Start or Expand Your Business

Registration and operating authority for carriers that are starting out or adding to what they already run.

New USDOT Number + MC Operating Authority

Complete registration for new for-hire carriers operating across state lines, including the USDOT number and one FMCSA operating authority based on your operations.

New USDOT Number — Intrastate Operations

Registration for businesses operating commercial motor vehicles within a single state. We review your operations and obtain a USDOT number when one is required.

Reapply for USDOT Number

If a previous USDOT number cannot be reactivated or reused, we review the prior record, confirm eligibility and prepare a new registration.

Additional Operating Authority

For carriers expanding their services, we assist with applications for one additional operating authority type under an existing USDOT number.

USDOT Reinstatement or Reapplication

We review an inactive or revoked USDOT record to determine whether reinstatement is available or a new registration is required, then submit the appropriate filing.

Maintain Your Registration

Routine updates that keep an active carrier record accurate and current with the FMCSA.

MCS-150/Biennial Update

Motor carriers must update their USDOT record every two years, or whenever company, fleet or operational information changes. Pricing is based on fleet size.

MCS-150B/Hazardous Materials Update

Updates the USDOT record for carriers transporting hazardous materials and supports Hazardous Materials Safety Permit registration when required.

UCR Registration or Annual Renewal

Completes the annual UCR registration required for interstate carriers, brokers, freight forwarders and leasing companies. The government fee depends on fleet size.

Manage or Close Your Authority

Filings that change or end your operating status with the FMCSA.

Operating Authority Reinstatement

Restores an inactive FMCSA operating authority by completing the reinstatement filing and reviewing outstanding requirements that may prevent activation.

Voluntary Revocation of Operating Authority

Formally withdraws an operating authority that is no longer needed, generally when a company stops interstate for-hire operations. The USDOT number remains separate.

Out-of-Business Notification

Updates the USDOT record when a company permanently stops operating, helping close compliance obligations and reduce the risk of continued notices.

Account Access and Specialized Support

Services that begin with a review of your account or carrier record before any filing is made.

Motus Account Setup and USDOT Number Claim Assistance

Assistance claiming an existing USDOT number in Motus, including account setup, identity-verification guidance and help resolving claim-access issues.

FMCSA/Motus Error Investigation and Escalation

Investigates account-access problems, incorrect carrier records, status discrepancies and system errors, with support tickets and escalation when required.

Multiple Filings or Combined Corrections

Coordinates multiple FMCSA filings or record corrections needed to resolve interconnected registration, authority or account issues.

Extended Monitoring and Follow-Up

Continued status monitoring, agency follow-up and support-ticket tracking after a filing has been completed. Choose an initial review or ongoing monitoring for up to 30 days.

FMCSA and Motus control their decisions and processing timeframes; approval, activation and completion dates cannot be guaranteed.

Safety and Document Services

Reviews of your public safety record and retrieval of official FMCSA documents.

FMCSA Safety and Compliance Review

Reviews available SAFER and SMS information, including inspections, violations, BASIC categories, out-of-service rates and safety-rating status.

FMCSA Document Retrieval

Locates and provides available FMCSA documents, such as USDOT letters, operating-authority certificates and safety-rating letters.
