Get to know DOTCS
Since July 22, 2026, the federal rule requires returning a completed roadside inspection form when the issuing state requests it. Correcting violations, certifying the report and keeping it remain separate duties.
The decal on the truck and the report in the office serve different purposes. Check the federal inspection documentation rules before treating one as the other.
Local routes still need a radius check, timely return and release, and usable time records. A practical guide to the federal short-haul conditions for property-carrying CDL operations.
Carriers need the motor vehicle record and a documented annual review. Here is what remains required after FMCSA removed the old annual violations-list rule.
The normal USDOT filing calendar still matters, but FMCSA currently gives qualifying registrants more time during the Motus transition. Check the scope and preserve your records.
A signed release does not prove a Clearinghouse query is complete. Check the annual cycle, consent, full-query follow-up and current recordkeeping rules.
FMCSA extended regional emergency relief from 14 to 30 days. Here is what carriers should verify before dispatch, what remains required, and where DOTCS can help.
