Testimonials

"Some say it's simple to get your authority, and that you should save your money and do it yourself. Other people, including myself, are not sure where to even begin. I used a service provided by DAT to get my authority. It was important to me that it was done right the first time, by people who have done this before."

- Chad Boblett - Boblett Brothers Trucking

"They took me by the hand an led me through all of the difficult and confusing steps to ensure that I started off on the right foot. I cannot say it any clearer than these folks know what it's all about."

- Gregg Knight, LTL Trucking

FAQs

  1. What is the purpose of a DOT number?
    A DOT number is an identification number for carriers administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The Department of Transportation uses this identifier to monitor carriers, their trucks and drivers, and their overall safety rating and operations.

  2. Who needs a DOT number?
    All carriers transporting goods across state lines and who have vehicles exceeding 10,000 pounds — as well as those that haul hazardous materials — must register with the FMCSA and obtain a USDOT number.

  3. Is a DOT number the same as an MC number?
    While DOT numbers and MC numbers are both official identifiers for carriers, they are not the same thing.

  4. What else do I need to start my carrier business?
    To start your carrier business, you’ll need CDL and IFTA credentials in addition to your DOT number and MC number.

  5. What is the DOT number cost?
    The DOT registration cost is not one of them — applying for a DOT number is free.
