FLORIDA DOT NUMBER

Florida DOT Number Operatioonal Requirements Summary
FLORIDA DOT number requirements
Please Note
1.  When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that   trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'.  You will be a 'Carrier'
2.  If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Florida without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3.  If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Florida to another point in Florida, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4.  If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Florida to another point in Florida AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Florida, and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home to Florida and then operate exclusively within your home state of Florida. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Florida. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5.  Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Florida or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6.  If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier )

1.  When applying for a DOT number, 'Carrier' is the designation assigned to the applicant, whether a Person, Business or a Company that operates a vehicle or vehicles that either belong to them, or are being leased by them. A 'Registrant' is an 'Owner' of a truck that is leased to a trucking company and operates under that   trucking company's name and DOT number and, usually, MC number. Registrants are paid by trucking companies to haul loads and Registrants are not issued DOT numbers. When operating a commercial vehicle, you are either a 'Registrant' or a 'Carrier'. When applying for a DOT number, whether you have a van, pickup truck, full size truck, box truck, flatbed truck or semi-tractor, you are assigned the term 'Carrier'. As far as the DOT is concerned, you are a 'Carrier', whether you are a 'Private Carrier' driving a pickup truck and servicing the oil rigs in Texas or North Dakota, or as an owner of an 80,000-lbs semi-tractor and trailer running willy-nilly all over the country as a 'For-Hire Carrier'.  You will be a 'Carrier'
2.  If you are hauling, transporting or working exclusively within the state of Florida without crossing state lines, then the 'In State' categories shown in the tables below apply to your operation. Your DOT number will show that you are an Intrastate Carrier.
3.  If you are hauling or transporting loads or items across state lines ONLY and never hauling or transporting loads or items from one point in Florida to another point in Florida, then 'Crossing State Lines' applies to your operation and your DOT number will show you are an Interstate Carrier.
4.  If you are hauling or transporting from one point in Florida to another point in Florida AND you are occasionally crossing state lines, or crossing state lines on a regular basis, then you need to look at both the 'In-State' requirements and the 'Crossing State Lines' requirements. If you are a 'For-Hire' Carrier, then you may end up getting a DOT (USDOT) number, State Authority to operate within the state of Florida, and Federal Authority to cross state lines with loads. If you cross state lines just once with your commercial vehicle, you are an 'Interstate Carrier'. This would not apply if you are purchasing a vehicle in one state, crossing state lines to bring the vehicle home to Florida and then operate exclusively within your home state of Florida. While you do this, you are not strictly operating 'In Commerce', you are merely transporting the vehicle back to your state of operation of Florida. However, if you have not been issued a DOT number while driving back home, you may be stopped and told to get a DOT number. If you are, contact us.
5.  Service Contractors or Contractors hauling their own tools or equipment within the state of Florida or across state lines are referred to as 'Private Carriers'.
6.  If you are a contractor who does concrete work, as an example, then you would be considered a 'Private Carrier' because you are getting paid to provide a service job. If you pick up a load of gravel, transport that gravel, dump it and get paid for transporting the gravel, then leave without doing anything further with that gravel, you would be considered a 'For Hire' Carrier. You would be considered a 'For-Hire Carrier' because someone hired you to transport the gravel and do nothing else with the gravel. You can be both a 'Private Carrier' and a 'For Hire Carrier', but if you do any 'For-Hire Carrier' work, then you must register as a 'For Hire Carrier' (if that's required by the state. Check the listings below to see if you are required to register as an In-State, For-Hire Carrier )

If you buy a truck or tractor, bring it home or to a garage for work to be done on the vehicle and then use the vehicle in commerce, then the tax is based on the month you start using the vehicle 'in commerce'. Commercially-plated trucks or tractors driven 5,000 miles or under within a tax year qualify to be tax exempt. Farm-plated trucks or tractors are allowed 7,500 miles or under to be tax-exempt.

or as a Corporation (Inc.)
Florida DOT Number individual or truck-owner registering with the Secretary of State

If you are based in Florida and would like to become
a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a Corporation (Inc.)



Geting your own authority: If you plan to use an LLC name, corporate name or partnership name with your operation, before you apply for a Florida DOT number / DOT number and for Florida Authority, MC Authority, or will be hauling exempt loads, you will need to register for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) / Federal ID Number and complete the registration process with the Florida Secretary of State with a name of you choice. The registration process for Florida Authority or MC Authority can then proceed. We can do the registration processes for you and apply for an EIN / Federal ID Number.
Leasing on to a trucking company: If you will be leasing on to a trucking company as an LLC or Corporation, before you sign the lease agreement, you will need to have an Employer Identification Number / EIN / Federal ID Number in the name of the LLC or Corporation, and have completed the registration process with the Florida Secretary of State. You will not need a Florida DOT Number.
Original Name: To register a name with the Florida Secretary of State, the name must be unique and not the same name as any other name registered with the Florida Secretary of State. The process takes a couple of business days to complete. We can do the application process for you.
Getting an IRP plate: If you are getting an IRP license plate, the  Florida Department of Revenue / IRP office, which issues IRP plates, will look to see if you are registered with the Florida Secretary of State. If you are a one-person LLC (single-member LLC), or a one-person Corporation, you will need to have a Florida CDL to be issued an IRP plate. If the LLC is a multi-member LLC, or Corporation has two more officers, then the driver of the truck must have a CDL license to qualify for a Florida IRP plate
EIN / Federal ID Number required: When you register as a Corporation or an LLC, you will be required to obtain an Employer Identification Number, also known as a Federal ID Number. We can apply for an EIN / Federal ID Number for you.

and would like to set up an office or terminal in Florida 


Company based in another state wishing to operate within the state of Florida: If you plan to open an office or terminal in Florida and would like to register your name with the Florida Secretary of State as a Foreign Corporation or Foreign Limited Liability Company doing bisiness within the state of Florida, you will need to register your company name with the Florida Secretary of State as a Foreign entity doing business in Florida. If the name being used is unique with the Florida Secretary of State, the registration process can be completed. If the company name is not unique and a similar name is currently registered with the Florida Secretary of State, then a Fictitious Name (doing business as..) will need to be used. Call us to do the registration process at (765) 742-2610

Florida IFTA Fuel Taxes
Call us at
(765) 742-2610 to assist you with
Florida quarterly fuel tax reports
IFTA fuel tax registration for Florida DOT Number truck owners

Florida IFTA Fuel Tax
  • We cannot set you up with a Florida fuel tax account. You will need to call the Florida IFTA office at (850) 488-6921 to register for IFTA. Once you have received your IFTA stickers and cab-card, we can do your quarterly IFTA fuel tax filings for you.
  • If your truck is plated at 60,000-lbs or greater, or tractor and trailer are plated at 60,000-lbs or greater and you will be travelling through Kentucky, you will need a Kentucky KYU number and file the quqrterly KYU reports. We can set you you up with a KYU number and do the reports.
  • If you are going into New York State and are plated at 18,000-lbs or higher, you will need to register for the New York Highway-Use Tax, or NY HUT. You will also need to file and pay the quarterly NY HUT tax. We can do all of this for you.
  • If you will be travelling through New Mexico, you can either pay at the Port of Entry for the trip into or through New Mexico (typically around $60 across the state), or pre-register with the state and pay the weight-distance taxes on a quarterly basis. It usully turns out to be around $16 for each trip across the state with a New Mexico number)
  • Oregon is a different country altogether. A beautiful state and they speak English over there, but they are not a part of the IFTA fuel tax system. They collect their money through the IRP plate system and through their weight-distance tax system. You can pay at the border to travel through Oregon. Or you can pre-register with the state and post a $2,000 bond. You will need to file monthly weight-distance taxes with the state.
