What is a US DOT number?

 

 

​

A US DOT number is a unique identifier assigned by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) to commercial motor vehicles that operate within the United States.

 

This number is used to track important information about the vehicles and their owners, such as their safety record and compliance with federal regulations.

 

For example....

 

Let's say that John owns a trucking company that operates within the United States.

 

He has several trucks in his fleet that transport goods from one state to another. To comply with federal regulations, John must obtain a US DOT number for each of his trucks.

 

This number is displayed on the side of the vehicle and can be used by law enforcement officials to identify John's trucks and ensure that they are in compliance with federal safety regulations. Additionally, the DOT will use this number to monitor John's safety record and take enforcement actions if necessary.
