All the USDOT Services You Need in One Place
Whether you need a USDOT number or an NJ USDOT number flyer, we’ve got you covered. Tri-State Safety Solutions, LLC in Toms River, New Jersey, is here to cater to all the USDOT services you need.
USDOT Number
This is required for any company that owns or operates a Commercial Vehicle with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of 10,001 lbs. or more, transports cargo, or a vehicle that transports 9 or more passengers in interstate commerce.
A USDOT number is also required for any intrastate carriers hauling hazardous materials that require a safety permit. In select states, all commercial motor vehicles must obtain a USDOT number.
MC Number/Operating Authority
In general, you would need to have interstate operating authority (MC number) in addition to a DOT number if your company is:
Operating Authority means the registration required by 49 U.S.C. 13902, 49 CFR part 365, 49 CFR part 368, and 49 CFR 392.9a. FMCSA operating authority is also referred to as an "MC," "FF," or "MX" number.
Unlike the USDOT number application process, your company may need to obtain multiple operating authorities to support its planned business operations. An operating authority dictates the type of operation a company may run and the cargo it may carry.
Carriers who are not required to have an operating authority include:
