WHO NEEDS A USDOT NUMBER?
A USDOT number is required for any company that owns or operates a Commercial Vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 10,001 pounds or more, transporting cargo, or a vehicle transporting 9 or more passengers in Interstate (crossing state lines) Commerce. A USDOT number 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. They include:
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.
SCOPE & CLASSIFICATION
There are two scopes of authority. They are:
- Interstate (crossing state lines or hauling cargo intended to cross state lines)
- Intrastate (hauling cargo within a particular state's borders).
The most common classifications for a USDOT carrier are Private, For-hire or Exempt For-Hire.
However, there are other classifications available, 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. If you have questions about your carrier classification, give us a call at 877-352-1996.
