Florida Trucking Insurance & DOT Numbers

Florida Trucking Insurance is a specialized type of insurance that is designed to cover the needs of truck drivers. The Department of Transportation (DOT) number is the most important part in securing this type of insurance.

The DOT number is a unique identification number assigned to every commercial vehicle in the United States that travel over state lines. It's used by the Department of Transportation to identify and track vehicles that are transporting goods across state lines.

The DOT number can be found on a sticker on the driver’s side door post, or inside the driver’s door jam.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is a federal agency that regulates the use of vehicles in the United States. It does this by issuing vehicle registrations and operating a national network of motor vehicle related services. The DOT also operates an extensive system of roads and highways, oversees railroads and other public transportation, provides safety inspections for all types of commercial vehicles, and investigates accidents involving large trucks.

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) assigns a unique number to each commercial truck that is registered with them. This number is known as the DOT Number or the DOT ID Number. It can be displayed on both sides on the truck's front cab window or on both sides on the back door.

The DOT number consists of a truck prefix, a dash, a state code, and an 18-digit fleet number. The truck prefix is assigned in ascending order starting with 1001. The first four digits of the prefix identify the motor carrier company that registered the vehicle. This information was previously contained in the VIN number, but has since been moved to improve security. The next four digits indicate the division of that company, and so forth.
