Trucking and transportation
Compliance, accounting, and payroll for carriers.
Motor carriers carry two sets of obligations at once: the federal and state filings that keep the trucks legal, and the books, payroll, and taxes every business owes. BKS runs both, on filing systems built specifically for carriers.
What we hear
If any of this sounds familiar
These are the situations businesses in this position actually describe when they call.
- A renewal lapsed and nobody noticed until a roadside inspection
- IFTA quarters filed from a shoebox of fuel receipts
- Drivers paid without the settlements ever reaching the books
- A safety audit scheduled with no idea what is missing from the DQ files
The order
What happens, in what sequence
Doing these out of order is how businesses pay twice. This is the path BKS runs.
- 1
Get authority
Entity, USDOT number, MC Authority, BOC-3, and insurance filings, in the order that actually gets you to active status.
- 2
- 3
Stay legal
Quarterly IFTA, annual UCR and 2290, the biennial MCS-150, driver qualification files, and Clearinghouse queries, each tracked to its own deadline.
- 4
Run the business
Books that separate settlements, fuel, maintenance, and equipment; payroll or contractor reporting for drivers; and returns filed off real numbers.
