DOT Number

Every interstate motor carrier — moving companies, freight haulers, passenger carriers, hazmat transporters — must register for a USDOT Number with FMCSA. The number appears on the side of trucks (required by federal regulation), in advertising, on contracts, and on the carrier’s website. The FMCSA SAFER public database lets anyone look up a USDOT Number to see operating authority status, insurance filings, safety inspection scores, crash history, and any out-of-service orders. For moving companies specifically, the USDOT Number is typically paired with an MC Number that authorizes household-goods transportation.

The USDOT Number is the master identifier for a carrier’s federal regulatory record. It is how customers, building managers, insurance underwriters, and government inspectors look up a carrier’s safety history and current operating status. An active USDOT Number with clean safety scores is a baseline credential for any interstate move. A carrier with no USDOT Number, an inactive number, or out-of-service status should not be booked for interstate work — and probably not for any commercial work at all. The 60-second SAFER lookup is the single highest-value due-diligence step for any move that crosses state lines.

Does every moving company need a USDOT Number?

Any carrier operating in interstate commerce, yes — federally required. Carriers operating only within a single state may be regulated by the state (in Texas, TxDMV) rather than federally, though many hold both federal USDOT and state credentials for flexibility.
