Going out of state without a DOT number
We have a dump truck and a trailer. The dump truck is registered as a
26k vehicle (no CDL) and the trailer is registered at 20k gross, so together they are a CDL required commercial vehicle. We do not have a DOT number. For now, we have been operating in-state (IL). There is an auction coming up in Wisconsin and I would like to know if we can go there without a DOT number. My reading of this is that we we move goods interstate, we need a DOT number etc. Does anyone know this for sure? i |

There are very few states that don't require it and your home state is one of those. http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registratio...tion-USDOT.htm Oh and if that truck has a GVWR over 26K it requires a CDL to drive it. The license requirement is based on the factory GVWR. NOT what you register it for. Same with the trailer. -- Steve W. |

Are those hard to get? Oh and if that truck has a GVWR over 26K it requires a CDL to drive it. The license requirement is based on the factory GVWR. NOT what you register it for. No, actually , the sticker on the door says 25,650 lbs. I registered it for 26k. Same with the trailer. i |

Are those hard to get? Not really, just paperwork. You can do it right from the site I linked. Either online or with paper. Oh and if that truck has a GVWR over 26K it requires a CDL to drive it.

Must be one of the lighter versions. What does it scale empty? Same with the trailer. i -- Steve W. |

It is a 1996 GMC Topkick dump truck, empty weight about 12,500 with the fuel and driver. 25,650 GVWR. So that gives me about 13k actual weight capacity. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-A..._E/s596/12+-+1 It is actually great for going to scrap yards and such. i |

Are those hard to get? Nope, really easy if you follow the link. You can register online. If I have your business plan correct you will be FMCSA classed as an Interstate Motor Carrier & For-hire Property Carrier. Once your in the system they will set up an appointment to come inspect your vehicles and records. Then they will track you for about 3-4 months or so. If you do OK during that time period they will leave you pretty much alone after that. Just make sure you have EVERYTHING ready before they inspect. That can be a PIA if your missing a piece of paperwork. Oh and if that truck has a GVWR over 26K it requires a CDL to drive it. The license requirement is based on the factory GVWR. NOT what you register it for. No, actually , the sticker on the door says 25,650 lbs. I registered it for 26k. Must be one of the lighter duty trucks then. What does it scale empty with you in the seat and full of fuel? Not that it really matters, once it has a DOT number and it's being operated under a business heading it will need a CDL driver anyway. Same with the trailer. i -- Steve W. |

I do not have a CDL, but I employ a person with a CDL who knows how to operate that stuff. i |

That can be a PIA if your missing a piece of paperwork. You mean, like, registrations and insurances and safety stickers? Plus license copies, medical certificate copies, drug test clearances, business paperwork showing all the insurance and ownership details. If you have employees they will want to see the payroll records to make sure you're in compliance with all the federal regulations for all employees and not hiding someone from them. Follow that link and it will show you all you need to know and what you need to have on file for compliance. Oh and if that truck has a GVWR over 26K it requires a CDL to drive it.

Just remember as the owner of the company YOU are responsible regardless of who is operating the equipment. -- Steve W. |
