What's new for Labor Compliance?

Contractors, trucking companies and other vendors need new IDs

The State of Minnesota requires all vendors working on a MnDOT project to register and obtain a new SWIFT Vendor ID.

 

Forms update

The Trucking Company/Vendor Form (Word, 47 KB) has been added to the list of forms. With the advent of WT CRLMS (WebTrnsport Civil Rights Labor Management System) and SWIFT (Statewide Integrated Financial Tools), trucking companies are now required to obtain a MnDOT vendor number, which can be accomplished by completing the form and submitting it along with all required documentation to:

 

Minnesota Department of Transportation

Labor Compliance Unit

395 John Ireland Blvd, Mail Stop 650

St. Paul, MN 55155-1899

 

MnDOT contractors are encouraged to ask trucking companies working on MnDOT jobs to obtain a vendor number as soon as possible to avoid the last minute rush.
