Dot just shut my company down for no reason at all

I have been off the road since December getting an inframe done. last week I got my truck back and was ready to go back on the road. I quickly discovered my DOT number quietly and for no apparent reason went inactive.

My MC number is active and so is my authority but somehow us dot number went inactive.
I called the fmcsa they say they had nothing to do with it and i need to call my state. so I called the Louisiana dot and I got the usual run around kept getting transferred to different departments half of them had no idea what a dot number even was. the people I really needed to talk to are never at there desk ever and never answer the phone so I leave voice mails and they never call me back.

Finally after 3 days of this someone actually calls me back and he told me it was very strange that they don't do that unless you blow off a safety audit or you were caught using 2 dot numbers something serious like that which didn't apply to my case. he said they would investigate it and contact the fmcsa and try to get me reactivated.

However I still cant get a hold of anyone to see whats going on this is putting me out of business nobody seems to know anything oh yeah and my mcs150 was last updated last may so that isnt the issue but I went ahead and sent in a new update anyway just to be safe.

I don't know what else to do Im starting to think i need an attorney but question remains who do i go after for this blunder. The officer I talked to said it is possible they punched in my dot number by mistake meaning to shut another one down I don't know.

any advice would be appreciated

 

ty yes that's big government for you right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. from what I hear its only a matter of time for us little guys anyway. There not going to stop till they raise our insurance rates.

 

I don't think its possible to defeat the government odds are stacked against us.
