Thank you for visiting my website.

I can have your US DOT Number in 24 hours…..but usually will have to you the same day or night.

Who needs a US DOT Number? 

Operators of Commercial motor vehicles….which means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate or intrastate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle is rated for 10,001 pounds or actual gross combination weight is 10,001 pounds or more.

So…… if you operate a F250, 2500 series or larger pick up, cargo van, box truck, dump truck, truck-tractor or larger to make money as a hobby like rodeo, fishing, racing etc. or for business you will need a USDOT Number.

Here are the requirements to get loads from brokers and shippers as well as maintain and activate your Motor Carrier Authoirty or MC Number and protect yourself and your equipment.

Primary Auto Liabilty Insurance.  This protects you if you cause property damage or bodily injury to others.  An Insurance agent like Pete Pomerenke of Truck Insurance Mart Inc in Kansas City 913 -461- 6850 also needs to send a BMC91X filing to the FMCSA in Washington DC on your behalf to activate your Motor Carrier Number.  The limit required is usually $1,000,000

The cost for this coverage is usually between $4500 and $6000 per year.

Cargo Insurance. This protects the cargo that you will haul against Collision, Fire, Theft, Vandilism and other named perils.  If you haul autos,  refrigerated freight or flatbed you may want to consider 150,000 to 200,000 limit.  But generally most brokers will want you to carry at a minimum 100,000.  You will usually have a deductible of $1000 to meet before coverage is paid.

The cost for this coverage is usually between $1000 and $1500 per year.

Physical Damage Insurance.  This protects your Truck and Trailer against Collision, Fire, Theft, Vandilism and other named perils.  You will usually have a $1,000 deductible and want to value your equipment for what it is worth or the loan value you financed.

The cost for this coverage is based on the value of your equipment usually about $400 per $10,000 value of your equipment so a truck worth $20,000 would be $800 per year.

General Auto Liability.  This protects you from accidents that do not involve the truck but other trucking operations  such as unloading autos, or unloading a flatbed with a forklift and you damage property or cause bodily injury with the auto or the forklift.  This coverage is not required to obtain or activate your Motor Carrier Authority but some brokers may require it to book a load. The limit required is usually $1,000,000.

The cost for this coverage is usually $900 to $1500 per year depending on your type of operation.
