Tell us you’re a trucker without telling us you’re a trucker...

A glove compartment full of receipts!
We know, we know, it's not a mess, it's a carefully organized collection of memories, fuel stops, and questionable gas station snacks. 😂

What’s the most trucker thing hiding in your truck?

Now is the time to:
✔ Verify your FMCSA Portal login
✔ Confirm account access
✔ Make sure your information is current

The FMCSA registration modernization transition is approaching quickly.

🚫 MYTH: “I mostly stayed in one state, so IFTA doesn’t apply to me.”
✅ FACT: If you crossed state lines even once in a qualified vehicle, you’re responsible for IFTA reporting.

This is one of the most common misconceptions we see during IFTA season.

Even if most of your miles were in one state, one interstate trip can still trigger IFTA requirements.

⏰ Reminder: IFTA filings are due April 30th.

Missing the deadline can mean penalties, interest, and unnecessary headaches.

👉 If you crossed state lines this quarter, now’s the time to make sure you’re covered!

🚫 MYTH: “BoC-3 is just paperwork, it’s not a big deal.”
✅ FACT: No BoC-3 = No authority to operate.

This isn’t just another form to check off your list, this is what allows you to legally run your business.

No BoC-3 on file? You could be shut down before you even get rolling.

👉 Not sure if yours is set up correctly? Drop a “BOC3” below and we’ll help you check.

🚫 MYTH: “I only have a couple drivers, I don’t need a drug & alcohol program.”
✅ FACT: Even ONE driver means you’re required to comply.

This is one of the biggest compliance mistakes small carriers make, and it’s usually not intentional.

DOT doesn’t scale the rules based on your fleet size. One driver is all it takes.

👉 Think you might be out of compliance? Drop a “HELP” below and we’ll point you in the right direction.

🚫 MYTH: You only need a DOT number if you cross state lines.
✅ FACT: Even if you stay in-state, you may still be required to have one.

This is one of the most common misunderstandings we see—and it can cost carriers big time. Fines, delays, and audits aren’t exactly things you want sneaking up on you.
