MMCDO1 - Carrier US DOT Number

Source of Definition: US DOT, D20/98; 49 CFR 390

Source of Data: FMCSA, MCMIS, Safetynet, US DOT

Synonyms: Carrier Identification Number; State/Province & Interstate Commerce Commission Authorization Number, USDOT Number

An identifier of a Motor Carrier. FMCSA assigns a unique identifier to each person required to be identified with FMCSA under 49 USC. 13902, 31134 and 49 CFR. 390.19T or 390.200T-201T. USDOT numbers are not transferable and are assigned to only one person and remain assigned to that person forever. For the purposes of USDOT number assignment, operating authority registration, and, in the future, safety registration, a person includes any person as recognized by law including an individual (sole proprietor), corporation, partnership, or other business organization as authorized under specific state law.

Usage Note: Old USDOT numbers had six digits, but now FMCSA issues 8 digit USDOT numbers. Since 2017, Motor Carrier (MC) Numbers, Freight Forwarder (FF) Numbers, and Mexico-based carrier (MX) Numbers, have been superseded by the USDOT Numbers.
