USDOT Correction and Record Updates
Your USDOT record has to stay accurate, and an out-of-date detail can cause real problems, from insurance issues to a flagged record. A USDOT correction updates the specific information on file with FMCSA whenever something changes, separate from the two-year Biennial Update. Tech Rig files your USDOT correction for you, for a flat $125.

What our USDOT correction service costs
The fee covers filing the correction with FMCSA.
If your MOTUS account or USDOT link needs FMCSA support to unlock first, we handle that as part of the work (see timing below), even when the record is locked in MOTUS.
compliance services and DOT registration sit alongside this if you need more than a correction.
How fast it is done
Normally same day when your MOTUS account is active and your USDOT record is linked. If FMCSA linking or support is needed, that step can take roughly 7 to 10 business days, which is FMCSA's timeline, not ours. We keep your side moving and tell you where it stands. We do not promise an FMCSA-controlled date.
