Trucking Compliance Simplified
For trucking contractors and motor carrier business owners, compliance with the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations is paramount. Non-compliance can result in penalties and the potential loss of your business operating privileges. Staying abreast of these regulations is crucial to ensure the safety of your workforce and adherence to industry standards as you transport goods across state and federal boundaries.
Why Choose Us
We understand the multifaceted needs of our clients in the trucking industry. Our experience has driven us to innovate and expand our tax services to cater to the unique requirements of both for-hire and not-for-hire trucking and motor carrier businesses.
Starting a Trucking Business
Launching a trucking business requires adherence to the regulations set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV). We have the expertise to guide you through the FMCSA compliance process, assist with commercial auto insurance requirements mandated by the DMV, and ensure you meet state and federal tax filing requirements. Our goal is to get your trucking business up and running while ensuring it operates within the bounds of the law.
IRP & IFTA Registration
For-hire and not-for-hire trucking and motor carriers that operate commercial vehicles with a gross weight of over 26,000 pounds or with three or more axles and travel across state lines must register for the International Registration Plan (IRP) and the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA). We can assist you in setting up and maintaining these critical accounts with your base jurisdiction.
HVUT Filing
Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) is a federal tax requirement for vehicles with a gross weight of over 55,000 pounds. We'll help you navigate the HVUT filing process, ensuring compliance with this tax while excluding smaller vehicles that typically don't fall under HVUT.
HUT Registration
Highway Use Tax (HUT) is a New York State-imposed tax on motor carriers operating specific types of vehicles. We'll guide you through the HUT registration process and help you obtain the necessary credentials to operate in New York State.
Maintaining Trucking Compliances
To maintain compliance with FMCSA regulations, truckers must undergo a Safety Audit within their first 12 months of operation. We'll assist you in completing the New Entrant Program successfully. Our professionals will ensure you meet ongoing FMCSA operating standards and tax filing responsibilities, allowing you to focus on your core business activities while we handle the paperwork and filings.
