Residential and Commercial Pressure Washing Specia
Hey Florida Guys, Could you please answer a question for me?

Who or what size/type of truck requires you to have DOT numbers

Local washer in Alabama who traveled to Florida just received a ticket

He is not required to in Alabama to have DOT stickers, He has an isuzu 14 or 16 ft flat bed

Thanks for the information
 
Just standard cdlb for over 26k..but you need a tank stamp for 1k gallons combined. .and of course hazmat endorsements for transport over according weight.
What was ticket for specifically?

I think he got 2, One for not having the DOT stickers and one for driver not having a medical/physical card
 
What Jeremy said, need dot# and physical card to go more than 50 miles from home base and/or to cross a state line with commercial vehicle.

That's a us not state reg.
 
The annual DOT crackdown is also June 4 through the 6th this year. They are nailing anybody and everybody for anything and everything. Anything (besides a regular pickup truck) over 10,001 GVWR rating you're supposed to have a CA number here in California. Anything over 100 miles from your base(air miles if you want the extra 2 or 3 miles lee way) you're supposed to carry a log book as well.

Is this a vehicle that is used for business purposes or is it a vehicle that is actually classified as a commercial vehicle
 
Our understanding is if you travel over 125 miles instate or cross state lines you have to have a DOT number and the driver must have a med card. The day is coming when any doing commercial work all will have to have the same. The DOT number is no charge, the medical card cost 35 to 50 dollars.
 
I've had my right to operate tractor trailers before it was a cdl. my understanding is that any vehicle with a 10.000 g.v.w.r needs a med card ( service truck, rack body one ton etc. ) anything over 26.000 needs at least a class b license. small truck UPS drivers do not have a cdl.( in fact ups makes the drivers call the trucks cars so no one thinks they are truck drivers ) same as small truck Salvation Army drivers do not have a cdl. so I would ASSUME that a f250 pulling a 7000 pound trailer is not in any way near the med card or cdl mark. But If you have an f350 ( 10.000 g.v.w or more ) pulling a trailer rated 10.000. or more then you need a med card and a class A. you really need to check your states requirements. the government set standards but states can add on to those standards.
 
Here in Texas the D.O.T. officer told me that the GVWR of the truck and trailer combined would have to be over 26,001 pounds to need the D.O.T. number on the truck.

Tanks that are 1000 gallons or more, you need to take the tank class.

The distance for log books is 150 air miles, within that there is no need for log books but some companies still require them for the tractor trailers and large box trucks and chemical trucks.

Over 26,001 pounds requires the CDL.

All CDL drivers have to have medical cards.
 
I was told any vehicle crossing state lines for commercial purposes and had a GVWR of over 10,000 lbs requires you to have DOT numbers and drivers must have physical card. Also you must have a safety inspection. There are a couple other requirements. As soon as you get the DOT # people start calling you and telling you about the requirements and the other fees. I just stopped driving my 3500 when I cross state lines
