DOT Number is issued by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT).
Commercial Vehicles used in your business or by your company required to have a DOT number are pickup trucks, vans, straight trucks, semi-tractors or vehicles transporting passengers. Weight requirements for vans, trucks and semi-tractors, or the number of people transported on passenger vehicles are described below.
Commercial Motor Vehicles requiring a DOT number as described by the FMCSA Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations Part 390.5 for the purpose of compliance with USDOT Marking Requirements 390.21 for a DOT number are as follows:
A Commercial Motor Vehicle implies that any self-propelled motor vehicle, or towed vehicle used on public roads and highways in interstate commerce to transport property or passengers when the vehicle
- has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Combination Weight Ratings of 10,001-lbs or more
- is designed to transport 8 or more people (including driver) for compensation
- is designed to transport 16 or more people including driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation
- is transporting hazardous materials in quantities requiring the vehicle to be placarded. With hazardous materials, there are no weight stipulations regarding placarded vehicles (the vehicle can be at any weight when transporting materials in quantities requiring placarding) and the regulations apply to both intrastate (in-state) and interstate (vehicles crossing state lines) operations.
Commercial Vehicles Remaining In-State that require a DOT number: Certain states require commercial vehicles used by you or your company that remain in-state without crossing state lines to be registered for a DOT number. This includes vehicles used to transport only your own equipment, or your own products, and you are Not For Hire (you are considered a Private Carrier) as well as vehicles designed to transport items or commodities or people on a For Hire basis (you get paid to transport these commodities, items or people within the state). You will not be crossing state lines at any time while operating commercially. If you are traveling into another state (other than yours) to operate within that state on a commercial basis, you will be considered as Crossing State Lines and will be required to have a DOT number when the GVWR or GCWR is 10,001-lbs or greater, or for certain vehicles transporting passengers (look at the Commercial Vehicles Crossing State Lines paragraph below). The following states require you to have a DOT number while operating on a commercial basis within these states. Click on the appropriate state you need to check on for a DOT number: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. States not requiring a Non-Hazmat DOT number are Arkansas, California, Washington DC, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Rhode Island, Virginia and Vermont. California-based businesses or carriers looking for a DOT number are required to register for a Motor Carrier Permit (MCP). When operating within a state as a Private Carrier, you will not need Intra-State Authority. However, when you operate as a For-Hire Carrier within the states shown above with links in blue, you are required to have a DOT number and, with certain states, the need to register for state operating authority. Check on the state pages requiring you to have a DOT number to see if you also need state operating authority as a For-Hire Carrier picking up and delivering items / loads within that state.
Commercial Vehicles Crossing State Lines that require a DOT number: Vehicles used in your business or your company that will cross state lines, or may cross state lines at any time and which have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,001-lbs or more stamped on the doorframe of the vehicle; or a combination of a powered vehicle and a trailer together with Gross Combination Weight Ratings (GCWR) of 10,001 or more: or certain passenger vehicles: are required to be registered for a DOT number when crossing state lines. You are assigned one DOT number for your business or company, whether you have one vehicle or your company has a thousand vehicles. If you are a Private Carrier crossing state lines, you will need a DOT number, but you will not need MC Authority / ICC Authority / Motor Carrier Authority / DOT authority. If you are a For-Hire Carrier crossing state lines with exempt products / loads, you will need a DOT number, but you will not need to register for MC Authority / ICC Authority / Trucking Authority / DOT Authority. If you are a For-Hire Carrier crossing state lines hauling non-exempt loads, in addition to a DOT number, you will need MC Authority / ICC Authority / Motor Carrier Authority / DOT Authority.
The following are the different categories of truck / semi-tractor operations associated with DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number registrations
Private Carrier hauling your own items or products across state lines with a GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 10,001-lbs or more, or pulling a trailer where the GCWR - Gross Combined Weight Ratings of both the power unit and the trailer are 10,001-lbs or more, you will need a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number. If you cross state lines and your gross weight or combined gross weights are 26,001-lbs or more, in addition to a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, you will need to register for an IRP / Apportioned license plate for the power unit (for the trailer, you can get an IRP / Apportioned license plate at the time you get a plate for the tractor, or you can get a trailer plate at your local license branch). Together with an IRP plate, DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, you will also need to register for IFTA fuel tax and the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR). If your gross weight exceeds 54,999-lbs, you will need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and file the annual 2290 Federal Highway Use Tax. If your truck or truck and trailer or semi-tractor and trailer weigh 18,000-lbs or more and you will be crossing into New York state, you will need to pre-register for a NYHUT before going into the state. If your truck or truck and trailer or semi-tractor and trailer weigh 60,000-lbs or more and you will be crossing into Kentucky, you will need to pre-register for a Kentucky KYU number. If you cross into New Mexico or Oregon, you can either pay at the Port of Entry, or pre-register with these states for the Weight-Distance tax. If you pay at the New Mexico Port of Entry to cross New Mexico on I-40 with a loaded semi-tractor and trailer, you will be asked to pay $60 for the trip. If you pre-register with New Mexico, you will end up paying around $16.75 for the same trip when you file your quarterly Weight-Distance report in the month following the quarter. If you start hauling loads for pay, you will no longer be considered a Private Carrier, and, in addition to a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, IRP plate and IFTA registration, you may need MC Authority (DOT Authority / ICC Authority / Trucking Authority) to haul loads across state lines.
Leasing on to a trucking company with a straight truck or a sem-tractor as an owner-operator - DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number requirements:
- Staying in-state without crossing state lines in a truck with a Gross Weight not exceeding 26,000-lbs, or a truck and trailer with Combined Gross Weights not exceeding 26,000-lbs - some states require you to have a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, other states do not require you to have a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number.
- Crossing state lines with a truck 10,001-lbs or more, or with a truck and trailer or semi-tractor and trailer with Gross Combined Weights of 10,001-lbs or more, you are required to have a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number when you are leased to a trucking company and will be classified as a Registrant and not as a Carrier. You will be operating under the trucking company's Motor Carrier Authority. If the Gross Weight of your pickup truck, pickup truck and trailer or straight truck is 26,000-lbs or under, you will not need to register for an IRP / Apportioned license plate, nor will you need to register for IFTA fuel taxes (trucking companies typically have you registered in their name for fuel taxes) but you will still need to register for a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number. The license branch plate for your truck is good for all 48 states when your Gross Weight is 26,000-lbs or under (you will not be asked for your DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number at the license branch), except when you have a pickup truck with a 5th wheel pulling a gooseneck trailer picking up a load in a state other than yours and delivering that load in that same state - then, in addition to a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, you need an IRP / Apportioned license plate for the truck. When your Gross Weight or Combined Gross Weights of both the Truck and the trailer or semi-tractor and trailer exceed 26,000-lbs and you cross state lines, in addition to a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, you will need an IRP / Apportioned license and have IFTA stickers on your truck. Some trucking companies will provide you with an IRP license plate and charge you back over several weeks for the cost of this plate, but you will still need to get your own DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number. Other companies require you to get your own Apportioned / IRP license plate. Most trucking companies will issue IFTA stickers and an IFTA cab-card to you. Some will tell you to register with the state for your own IFTA account and do your own quarterly IFTA fuel tax reporting. With any of these situations, you will still need your own DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number. If your truck or semi-tractor plate is 55,000-lbs or greater and you will be crossing state lines, you will need a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, an IRP / Apportioned license plate, IFTA fuel tax credentials and file a 2290 Federal Highway Use Tax with the IRS. You will be operating under the trucking company's Motor Carrier MC number.
For-Hire Carrier Hauling Exempt Products such as grain, livestock or logs with a pickup truck and trailer, straight truck, straight truck and trailer, or semi-tractor and trailer - DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number requirements :
- Staying within the state and not crossing state lines in a truck with a Gross Weight not exceeding 26,000-lbs, or a truck and trailer with combined Gross Weights not exceeding 26,000-lbs - some states require you to have a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number and other states do not require you to have a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number. As you will be hauling exempt products / commodities within the state, you will not need state authority to haul these items.
- Crossing State Lines with a truck 10,001-lbs or more, or with a truck and trailer or semi-tractor and trailer with Combined Gross Weights of 10,001-lbs or more, you are required to have a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number.

The license branch plate for your truck is good for all 48 states and you will not be asked for your DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number. When you are commercial and pick up and deliver loads within another state, when the Gross Weight, or Gross Combined Weights are between 10,001-lbs and 26,000-lbs, in addition to a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, you are required to plate these vehicles with IRP / Apportioned plates and register for fuel taxes. When the Gross Weight or Combined Gross Weights exceed 26,000-lbs and you cross state lines, you are then required to plate your power unit with an IRP / Apportioned license plate and register for IFTA fuel tax. In addition to a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, there may be several other things you need to have, as mentioned above. When your Gross Weight or Combined Gross Weights are 10,001-lbs or more, in addition to a DOT number / US DOT number / USDOT number, you will need to register for UCR - Unified Carrier Registration. If your truck or tractor and semi weigh 55,000-lbs or more, you will also be required to file the 2290 Federal Highway Use Tax with the IRS. You will need an EIN number to file the 2290 tax.

Alabama DOT Number Operational Requirements Summary
|
| ALABAMA DOT number requirements |
|
Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Alabama without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Alabama to another point in Alabama, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your opearation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Alabama to another point in Alabama AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within Alabama, and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home to Alabama and then operate exclusively within Alabama. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to Alabama, your state of operation.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Alabama or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Arizona DOT Number Operational Requirements Summary

|

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Arizona without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Arizona to another point in Arizona, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your opearation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Arizona to another point in Arizona AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within Arizona, and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Arizona. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation in Arizona.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Arizona or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of California without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in California to another point in California, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in California to another point in California AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within California and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home to California and then operate exclusively within your home state of California. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of California. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to California, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of California or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Connecticut without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Connecticut to another point in Connecticut, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Connecticut to another point in Connecticut AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Connecticut, and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Connecticut. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Connecticut. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Connecticut or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Delaware without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Delaware to another point in Delaware, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Delaware to another point in Delaware the AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Delaware, and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Delaware. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Delaware. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Delaware or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Georgia without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Georgia to another point in Georgia, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Georgia to another point in Georgia AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Georgia, and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Georgia. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Georgia. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to Georgia, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Georgia or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Idaho without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Idaho to another point in Idaho, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Idaho to another point in Idaho AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Idaho and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Idaho. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Idaho. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to Idaho, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Idaho or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Illinois without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Illinois to another point in Illinois, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Illinois to another point in Illinois AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Illinois and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Illinois. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Illinois. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to Illinois, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Illinois or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier ).

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Indiana without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Indiana to another point in Indiana, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Indiana to another point in Indiana AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Indiana and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Indiana. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Indiana. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to Indiana, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Indiana or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier)

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Iowa without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Indiana to another point in Iowa, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Iowa to another point in Iowa AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Iowa and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Iowa. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Iowa. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to Iowa, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Iowa or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state.

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Kansas without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an intrastateCarrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Kansas to another point in Kansas, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Kansas to another point in Kansas AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Kansas and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Kansas. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Kansas. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to Kansas, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Kansas or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier)

Please Note
1. When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'. You will be a 'Carrier'
2. If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Kentucky without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3. If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Kentucky to another point in Kentucky, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4. If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Kentucky to another point in Kentucky AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Kentucky and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home and then operate exclusively within your home state of Kentucky. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Kentucky. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home to Kentucky, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us, we will set you up with a DOT number.
5. Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Kentucky or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6. If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier)
