QUESTION: Is My USDOT Number Transferable?
ANSWER: No, USDOT Numbers are not transferable.
You can file for and request a USDOT Number on the Internet at www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration-licensing/online-registration/onlineregdescription.htm, or call toll-free 1-800-832-5660 to request a copy of the MCS-150 (Motor Carrier Identification Report), MCS-150B (Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and Hazardous Materials Permit Application).
QUESTION: How can I find out the status of my USDOT Number?
ANSWER: If you request a USDOT Number on the Internet you will receive your USDOT Number immediately and a confirmation letter will be mailed by the FMCSA. If you mailed your MCS-150/MCS-150B form you can go to http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov and search by the motor carrier name to see if the application has been processed or you can call toll-free 1-800-832-5660.
