A DOT number is a unique identifier assigned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to commercial vehicles operating in interstate commerce. The official term is a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number. It is used to monitor a carrier’s safety information during audits, compliance reviews, and crash investigations.
