Apply for dot number

Congratulations on deciding to begin your own tracking company! Running a commercial truck is a lot of work. Getting the CDL and making sure you have all the paperwork in order with the FMCSA, commonly known as the federal motor carrier safety administration, took some effort.

How do i apply for a DOT number?

The answer to this question is straightforward: you must complete the form for New DOT and respond to all of the inquiries, and we will submit all required documents to the Department of Transportation as soon as we obtain all necessary data regarding your trucking registration. We will pay any applicable fees and notify you when it is ready.

The procedure for submitting an application is rather simple. You must fill out an online form on our website and provide limited information about your company, such as:

2. Company name- If you don't already have an LLC or if you don't want to create one, you may use your own name instead. Many Carriers Operators choose to form an LLC because it protects them from business liability and preserves their personal assets in the event of a company failure.

2. The carrier's or company's principal address, if a business, is the primary address from which it operates.

3 . If you operate as an LLC, you'll need to give an Employer identification number also known as EIN Number or Social security number if you're a sole proprietor.

4. Hazmat information- You must give the Hazmat code/UN, which is a safety measure that applies to hazardous materials.

Please contact one of our specialists to determine whether you are subject to additional requirements such as UCR, Operating authority, or a need for an MC number filing or form 2290.

Maintain your new DOT compliance:

The Department of Transportation now requires all DOT number holders to submit a biennial report and provide the Government with updated information about their business. The government must have the most up-to-date and thorough data on transportation carriers.

Other Compliance

Whether you need to file for UCR, issue an MC operating authorization, or both is determined by your operation and the goods you transport.

UCR

The acronym "UCR" stands for United States Department of Transportation. All businesses that engage in interstate commerce must complete registration and pay the current fee established by this administration. The cost is determined based on the number of vehicles in your fleet. You will need to provide your USDOT number at registration. This number is used by the FMCSA to identify your account with them.
