USDOT Pin Request

A US DOT Personal Identification Number is an eight character code, consisting of digits and letters, that is received during carrier registration. A US DOT number is necessary for accessing federal motor carrier safety scores, registering for the Drug and Alcohol ClearingHouse, and completing biennial updates. If this information is lost or forgotten, a US DOT number lookup is available through the live chat, and includes the following steps:

1. Identifying verification using the registered phone number or email address associated with the account. Receiving the pin number via email (if this is unknown, agents are available to assist with searching for the appropriate address) that is listed on the company’s MCS 150.
2. Receiving the pin number via regular mail (if the corresponding phone number and email address are unavailable) which may take 7-10 business days to arrive

The format of the USDOT number PIN is NLNNLLNL, where N=a number and L=a letter. For example, 1A23BC4D.
