Do DOT numbers say much??

Lower numbers are older..........

 

Also in Google you can come up with fines imposed perhaps in the current fiscal year of a state where it's domiciled. Or perhaps a series of inspection reports, anything from OSHA life, death injury down through to the routine banal inspections etc.

Its a good number to have if you have a hold of it for researching.

I heard talk this year they plan on disposing that for some other form of displaying.

 

Mine has never said a word, maybe I should have a talk with it. lol

 

my address on my dot number goes to a urban address that's not totally truck friendly as in you wouldn't park trucks and trailers there. my truck is never at that address, i have a shop and yard space but i don't get mail at that address.

 

I think Schneider's office address in Indy was a lawyer's office. Someone tried to go there

 

FFE Maintained one address in the second floor of the Tulsa Texaco. A phone and all was in it.

Im pretty sure that having a truck and driver come through there for a period of a day or two satisfies some sort of occupancy law.

 

I've heard people sell numbers? Any truth?

 

They can sell (transfer) DOT numbers, but when the FMCSA transfers the authority, they will assign a brand new number. This is so carriers cannot mask their history by purchasing a lower number.
