If the original corporation will be dissolved and cease motor carrier operations under its original identity as a result of the business transaction, the entity is required to file an updated Form MCS-150 and select “Out of Business Notification” to notify FMCSA that the company is no longer operating. FMCSA should pursue a voluntary consolidation of safety records in such transactions. The new corporation is required to disclose its affiliation with the acquired motor carrier at the time of registration. When a corporation or partnership is acquired or merged into a new corporation or partnership that never registered with FMCSA before the transaction, new registration including a new USDOT number is required.
