WHAT IS A USDOT NUMBER

A USDOT Number is a unique identifier assigned to you by the Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOT/FMCSA uses this federally mandated number to look up your business information and determine if you are in compliance.

Whether you are a sole proprietor or the owner of a large trucking company, the same regulations apply to everyone.

WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN GETTING USDOT?

• The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
• The number of passengers for which the vehicle is manufactured.
• Whether you’re transporting hazardous materials
• If you transport goods across state lines (interstate)
• If you are only transporting goods within a single state (intrastate)
