OP-1 (MC number) without USDOT number? Is that possible?

That's a new one on me. I don't think it's possible for a Motor Carrier for hire to run under someone else's DOT number. When you go to the FMCSA website, you basically answer a bunch of questions and they determine if you will need USDOT only, or if you need both USDOT and MC. Not exactly sure why you want to run under someone else's DOT number.....that is the free one. MC costs $300.

 

your post dont make sense.you going to run under someone else mc and you getting your own mc?is either one it cant be both.dot number is free to get and you will need it for ifta an irp

 

I think I understand what you want....

By running under their DOT and MC number they get a %% of the load. You also want to have your own numbers so that you can get your own loads, correct?

You are going to need to get your own DOT and MC number.

The last thing to worry about is plates and insurance. If you have insurance through them, I am sure it will not cover you under another DOT and MC.

Last question for you is this... Why would you run under the DOT and MC of another if they can not keep you busy?

 

Yep, I understand all that. But my question is why not just get both? After all, the DOT number is free. Is it because you think the DOT number triggers an audit and drug testing and the MC does not?

 

K gonna take a stab at this--since YOU mentioned u feel u need #s to get on load board&ck rates--guessing you really wanna ck up on rates to see if they are being straight w/you in terms of what they are paying you?

 

LOL, that crossed my mind too. Also crossed my mind that he might want to recruit some of his employers his customers.

 

DriverLLC you cannot get MC now and keep it for a year because you gotta show FMSCA cargo insurance under your own company, you cannot get your own MC with cargo leased to someone else.
