Texas DOT Number Overview

Companies that operate commercial motor vehicles who pick up loads in Texas and drop off those same loads in Texas are required to have a Texas DOT Number.

You are required to have a Texas DOT Number if you:

  • Operate a vehicle designed or used to transport cargo with a gross vehicle weight, registered weight or gross vehicle weight rating greater than 26,000 pounds
  • Transport hazardous materials in Texas that require placarding
  • Operate a vehicle in Texas designed to transport more than 15 passengers (including the driver)
  • Transport household goods on a for-hire basis, regardless of vehicle weight
  • Operate a commercial motor vehicle that is owned or controlled by a person or entity that is domiciled in or the citizen of a country other than the United States

33,

I was looking online for some helping getting my Hotshot auto-hauling company started when I came across Progressive Reporting Agency.  I called several places, and they were competitively priced and I was impressed by their responsiveness and knowledge so I decided to go with them.  Over the years, I have worked with many different companies that provide similar services and Progressive Reporting is top notch.  They worked diligently to get me set up quickly and have always been eager to help, even after they completed the work I paid them for.

I saw a YouTube video for Progressive Reporting and all the services they offer, which happen to be all the services I was looking for in a one stop shop type deal. I’m glad I went with them. All the red tape you have to go through to apply for your own authority is nothing for these guys. They know what to do and when and where, no hassle or headache, they do it all for you. With Progressive Reporting helping me it was smooth and easy… If you’re looking for a company to help you with your trucking company, I highly recommend them.

I had a goal of starting my own trucking company for some time, but was nervous about all the regulations I couldn’t possibly know about. So when I came across the YouTube video explaining Progressive Reporting Agency’s process, I knew this was the company to go with. Tyler explained everything in appropriate detail and followed up with me when I had questions. I am very satisfied with the service and overall sense of caring that Progressive Reporting has shown me.

We had no idea how to get our trucking company started. A friend referred us to Progressive Reporting Agency and they have been fantastic to work with. They broke everything down so we knew exactly what we needed to do and how much it was going to cost. Once we decided to move forward, they took care of everything and it was a smooth process. Now that we are going, the customer service continues to be great, they are always willing to help and educate me, no matter how many times I call. Thanks for being such an honest company.
