Whether you operate a small fleet of light-, medium-, or heavy-duty units, or are merely the owner of one truck wanting to ensure you adhere to the law, knowing if you can need a U.S. DOT number can be confusing.
When, exactly, do you need a DOT number? And why is paperwork so important?
Learn the basics of the DOT number - what the requirements are, how many you need, and how to obtain one in this Fleet 101 episode of Truck with host Lauren Fletcher.
It doesn’t matter if you have a one-truck or a 500-truck fleet, you must be compliant with DOT rules. When the GCVW is 10,001 pounds or more, a vehicle is covered under DOT regs and must display a DOT number or it will be subject to a fine if pulled over by the police.
