USDOT NUMBER

The DOT number is a unique identifier used by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) to effectively evaluate the safety practices of trucking agencies, owners, or operators. If you’re a new applicant, you must file form MCSA-1 online prior to starting your operations using the Unified Registration System (URS). Also, ensure that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) doesn’t accept paper applications from new applicants.

Who Needs a USDOT Number?

Organizations that operate commercial motor vehicles (CMV) to transport cargo or passengers across interstate commerce must have a unique number issued by the FMCSA. And you must display this DOT registration number and the name of the carrier’s legal company on both sides of the vehicle.
