DOT Clearinghouse Products Resources Pricing About 1-800-253-5506 Login Get Started Getting Started As a new motor carrier, you have a lot to look forward to: the promise of a growing industry, the independence of owning your own business and the freedom of the open road. There are also a lot of regulations you must meet – and that starts with the permits, registrations and DOT compliance programs you need to operate legally. Below are the documents and programs you must have in place prior to your new entrant safety audit, which usually takes place within the first six months of obtaining your USDOT Number. Although this audit is designed to be educational, it is a serious process. Keep in mind that a failure here could put your business on hold…in some cases, permanently. Permits & Registrations The permits and registrations you need will vary depending on where you drive and what you carry. From determining what you’re required to have, to handling the paperwork on your behalf, the experts at Foley are here to help.
