“We ask for your DOT number so we can verify your authority, safety record, and vehicle type directly with FMCSA. DOT registration is required for most commercial vehicles used in interstate commerce, including:
• Trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross combination weight rating of 10,001 lbs or more
• Passenger vehicles designed to carry 9+ people (including the driver) for compensation
• Passenger vehicles designed to carry 16+ people (including the driver) not for compensation
• Vehicles transporting hazardous materials in quantities that require placards
• Most box trucks, straight trucks, semis, and tractor-trailers
• Many cargo vans and pickup trucks with trailers if combined weight exceeds 10,001 lbs
Having your DOT number on file helps us match you with loads that fit your equipment and weight class while making sure you stay in compliance with FMCSA regulations.”

“We ask for your MC (Motor Carrier) number so we can verify your broker or for-hire carrier authority directly with FMCSA. MC authority is required for most carriers and brokers engaged in interstate, for-hire transportation of regulated commodities. This helps us:
• Confirm your operating authority and compliance status
• Match you with loads you’re legally authorized to haul or broker
• Ensure shippers and carriers on our platform work only with verified, licensed companies
• Build trust in our network so you get more responses and faster load matches
You need an MC number if you:
• Operate as a for-hire carrier transporting regulated commodities in interstate commerce
• Act as a freight broker arranging transportation for regulated commodities
• Transport passengers in interstate commerce for compensation
• Haul household goods across state lines for compensation
Having your MC number on file means you can access the full range of loads, negotiate confidently, and connect with partners who know you’re fully authorized to operate.”
If you want, I can also make a side-by-side MC vs. DOT explainer so carriers and brokers instantly know which one applies to them when signing up on your site. That would cut down on confusion during registration.
