6. The year-round deadlines
After the audit, a carrier has a dozen recurring deadlines. Trucking OS tracks them for every client:
- IFTA fuel tax: every quarter.
- Clearinghouse query: every 12 months per driver.
- UCR registration: every year (fall).
- Form 2290: every summer.
- IRP plates: each carrier's renewal month.
- MCS-150 update: every two years.
- Annual inspection: every 12 months per truck.
- Medical card: up to every 24 months per driver.
- Insurance: must never lapse.
This is why carriers stay on a monthly plan.
