florida confusion

If you are engaged in intrastate commerce only inside the state of Florida, you are required by the state of Florida to obtain a Florida DOT Number.

The Florida Highway Patrol, Bureau of Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), have implemented a Motor Carrier Registration Program for Interstate and Intrastate motor carriers. By law, your company is required to obtain a USDOT or Florida DOT number and display it on all of your commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) (see intrastate exemptions). Once you receive the DOT number, it must be affixed on both sides of the power unit, in a color contrasting with the background of the vehicle, and the numbers must be large enough to be readable fifty feet from the vehicle.

AA BOC Process Server is part of the requirements to obtain your own USDOT/MC operating authority. I am not sure if it is a Florida only DOT requirement.

IFTA License and decals are mandatory. Here is the criteria:

ThePower Unit has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight in excess of 26,000 pounds, and/or

The Power Unit has three or more axles regardless of weight, and/or

Is used in combination, when the weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds gross vehicle or registered gross vehicle weight.

Hope this helps. All of my information may not be 100% accurate and up to date so your mileage may vary. It would be best if you contacted Florida Highway CVE for the most up to date information regarding your situation.

 

No problem.

 

Why would you need ifta if only operating in a single jurisdiction...?

100% of miles traveled in 1 state and also 100% of fuel burned bought in same state therefore never have a balance owing or credit due.. unless for some reason they want to know how much fuel you are using?

 

IFTA or apportionment is not required if operating with in the state.

 

Call the state, get it from the horses mouth,better to be safe then sorry and whatever other cliches that fit.

 

Correct response. no need for irp or ifta.

 

Have your ducks in a row cause Florida DOT loves them some duallys
