What is a USDOT Number?
A USDOT number is an identification number issued and used by
the FMCSA and Departments of Transportation to track and monitor a
company's safety record.
Who Needs It?
A USDOT number is required for any company that owns or operates
a Commercial Vehicle with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of
10,001 lbs or more, transporting Cargo or a vehicle transporting 9
or more Passengers in Interstate Commerce. USDOT is also required
on any intrastate carriers hauling hazardous materials which
require a safety permit.
There are states that require USDOT numbers for all commercial
motor vehicle registrants such as: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona,
Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia,
Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Once you are required to have a USDOT number, knowing what
classification and scope of authority your particular type of
business operates in and what cargo classifications describe your
commodities is crucial.
- The scopes of authority are
Interstate (crossing state lines or
hauling cargo intended to cross state lines) and
Intrastate (hauling cargo within a
particular state's borders).
- The classifications for a USDOT carrier are mostly Private,
For-hire or Exempt For-Hire. However, there are other
classifications listed on our form such as Private Passengers-
(business), Private Passengers- (non-business), Migrant, U.S. Mail,
Federal Government, State Government, Local Government, and Indian
Tribe. It is possible for a company to be listed with more than one
classification.
- The Cargo classifications are listed on our form for you to
choose from. If your commodity is not listed simply select other
and type in what commodities you are hauling.
