Do you require US DOT numbers? IFTA? - Truck & Trailer Tuesday!

Tractor Time with Tim discusses US DOT vehicle requirements with Indiana Senior Trooper Hoover. If you are using your truck, trailer and tractor for commercial purposes across state lines with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 26,000 lbs - what is required? Trooper Hoover educates us on DOT numbers, IFTA (fuel tax), safety requirements and more. Please be sure to check the regulations in your own state as they may be different than Indiana.

When you have to deal with the DOT inspections, Your going to be in for a major surprise, I have recently retired for trucking and I can tell you as soon as you put a USDOT and MC number on your P/U you are then open for regs and restrictions like youve never even dreamed of. ELDs or Log books, hours of service, truck maint logs, Your CDL physical ( $200.00 and up ) . You can go through the same inspection port every day and in most cases the Inspections differ depending on who our what there are after that day!!! By the time I retired I was just sick of the government B/S. Ive used great restraint in my comments the best I good lol.

I'm an owner operator and to speak on the IFTA part you are required to file a quarterly fuel tax report stating how many gallons of fuel you purchased in each state you drove in or through. If the states has the same fuel tax rate then you will not pay any extra just file the report and they will transfer the tax from the fuel you bought in one state to the other for the miles you ran in the other state, but if you buy fuel in a lower tax state and travel in a higher tax state you will have to pay the difference on the tax at the end of that quarter for the miles you run in that state. The mess you have to go through to haul commercially is ridiculous and if you ask 3 different people on what you need you might get 3 different answers, depending on there interpretation of the law.

MC /DOT numbers-I believe it was $300 to file-itntrastate MC/DOT numbers were free in Florida. BOC 3 filing was free If i remember right. Then theres separate quartly tax filings for Kentucky, Oregon, new Mexico and new york based on equipment value, miles driven and weight. Income tax quartly if you want to pay yourself.

My chevy 3500hd has a gvw of 13,000. Even though it is titled as a non comercial vehicle i still had to get the following. A physical card DOT inspection A sign that say NOT FOR HIRE. Traveled threw West Virginia and was pulled over for a DOT. Also had to get a State inspection. Most states do not consider a toyhauler trailer an RV. You will get pulled over.

Some states enforce this and some don't. They also have a user fee, depending on how many tractors that yo have. This fee pays for more enforcement people to shake you down. Highway robbery.

I have a 3500 dually I use to pull my skid-steer. its on a trailer rated at 17000llbs. the skid-steer with bucket weighs 12000lbs. this is really my personal wheelbarrow since I've had 3 back surgeries. the only time its put on the trailer is to take it in for service. I've never made a dime with it. I wonder where this falls according to the law. I'm a retired pipe welder.

We need to apply these rules to all motor vehicles on the road. A unsafe car can cause just as big of an accident as a commercial truck can. This is nothing more than legalized robbery of the people just trying to make a living.

Research continues to prove vehicles in States with annual inspections are no safer or better maintained than vehicles in States without inspections, the only difference is the State makes money by requiring them.

ekeller88 Go back to Russia with that nonsense

@ekeller88 5 жыл бұрын

What's Russia got to do with this? Having my own commercial truck on the road, I'm simply tired of this harassment.

@bradrobb7582 5 жыл бұрын

ekeller88 I meant it as a reference to you saying you wanted to apply all this nonsense to all vehicles on the road, I guess I should’ve said go back to the Soviet Union, Since these are all big government rules. But now that I read your statement a little bit closer it seems kind of contradictory. Are you for or against all this kind of stuff?

@justcause3254 2 жыл бұрын

@@bradrobb7582 Agreed. On the one hand he wants ALL vehicles “papers please” by the commissars, and on the other hand calls it literal highway robbery and harassment by… The commissars. I was just as confused and “Soviet Unioned” by that as you.

There used to be an exemption if your truck was not for hire. That statement had to displayed on you truck. I stand be corrected but it’s worth checking.
