What is Part 369?

The FMCSA annual-reporting rulebook for certain larger property, household goods, dual, and passenger carriers.

Who It Applies To

Mainly applies to larger classified property, household goods, dual property, and passenger carriers.

Form M

Class I and Class II covered property carriers file Form M by March 31 after the reporting year.

Property Classes

Property carrier classes are based on annual carrier operating revenue after required adjustments.

Passenger Reports

Class I passenger carriers may need Form MP-1 annual reporting by March 31.

Records

Part 369 reporting depends on clean revenue, expense, equipment, load, invoice, and corporate records.

Filing Exemptions

Filing-exemption requests need written support and do not automatically pause filing duties.

Public Release

Public-release exemptions require objective support, confidentiality facts, and competitive-harm explanation.

Business Changes

Revenue growth, mergers, authority expansion, and reorganization can change carrier reporting class.

Carrier Checklist

A practical checklist for carrier type, revenue class, Form M, Form MP-1, records, and deadlines.

Real-World Risk

Growth, revenue changes, acquisitions, household goods work, and poor accounting can trigger reporting problems.

Need help keeping carrier records clean before growth creates reporting duties?

DispatchHQ helps carriers organize revenue records, invoices, load documents, equipment records, accounting categories, compliance calendars, authority changes, and back-office workflows so reporting duties do not become a last-minute scramble.
