DOT number without an MC number when leased to another carrier. How to do that?

I always thought that the carrier was to handle this, they collected the taxes and made the payments because they had the interstate authority, not the leasing party.

 

Since UCR came about, I believe in 2015 it was, I don't think you can get the DOT without the MC.

My question would be, If your going to run your own IFTA and everything...

Why be leased on?

 

You can’t get a DOT number anymore. They used to require it for leased operators, now they forbid it.

 

I have a brand new DOT and MC, and I'm leased on.

You have to have a DOT to get IRP, only reason I got mine.

 

Ucr is just a new name for single state registration.

 

No ya don’t

 

You list your leased to motor carrier’s mc and dot on your irp and check the little box that it’s subject to change. If you listed an inactive or worse, bought liability insurance and then cancel it to get your irp, you’re going to be sorry

 

UCR stands for United Carrier Registration. It means DOT # and MC # at tied together. Its the reason carriers no longer are required to display their MC on the side of the truck.

And yes, you do have to have a DOT number to get an IRP on a truck. The DOT # must be active and in the registrants name.

 

The MC on the side went away before UCR. You DO NOT need your own DOT/MC to get your own plate. Where do you guys come up with this nonsense
