Thank you for the replies everyone. I wasn’t aware that a change from sole proprietor to a Corporation is have to change my DOT and MC number. All I’d be doing is a name Change. I’m just operating under my name now. Been this way since 2013. Just trying to be more professional and separate the 2 better. Would that apply if I did my last name trucking inc/LLC as well? I’d have to change my MC and DOT? I definitely would not want to do that.

You do not need to and the FMCSA website supports this, but just because that's the case doesn't mean it will be easy. Many at the FMCSA don't even know the rules they're supposed to be enforcing.
