[QUOTE="brian991219, post: 10322737, member: 122252"]A US DOT number is for the company not any one specific truck. If any of your trucks has a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds then yes you must have a US DOT number. No exception, even if you were only going to be across state lines 1 day. Your company is a private motor carrier of property once you cross a state line with a commercial vehicle (any vehicle of 10,000 pounds). Further complicating things, if you also have buses or vans that either seat 16 or more people (including the driver) or have a GVWR of 10,001 pounds or more to transport your workers to and from the job site they will also need to display the US DOT number and your DOT number will also have to show you as a private carrier of passengers in addition to private motor carrier of property. You will also need to file and pay the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) before crossing state lines.[/QUOTE]
