Question

When would a for hire trucker not have a mc or dot #? And how often does this occur?

Answer 1

It all depends on the gross vehicle weight rating of the vehicle, and whether the carrier traverses state lines.  The best way to learn what the terms and conditions pertaining to motor carriers are is to contact your local Department of Transportation office, and ask for their Motor Carrier Division.  Someone there will be happy to answer all of your questions.
