Should each terminal operation or branch of a large corporation file an MCS-150 form?
NO! Generally the corporate office or headquarters should file all the necessary forms and should inform its branches of the USDOT Number. For large companies with many branches, maintaining proper registration with the FMCSA requires good communication between the corporate headquarters and the terminal offices. The company’s headquarters can then interact with the FMCSA to ensure that all of its branches are properly accounted for.
