Who needs a USDOT number?
Here are the requirements the FMCSA states:

The responsibility of every truck driver:
It is the responsibility of motor carrier operators and drivers to know and comply with all applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Safety compliance and safe operations translate into saved lives and property. FMCSA monitors and ensures compliance with regulations governing both safety (all carriers) and commerce (for-hire carriers). Companies may find they are subject to both registration requirements (USDOT Number and MC Number) or either one, separately. We believe the information in this package, when effectively applied, will contribute to safer motor carrier operations and highways.
The FMCSA provide a lot of excellent resources for trucking companies and truck fleets, but the information may be too difficult to understand for the new truck owner operator.
The actual dot number size is not exactly specified by the FMCSA for the dot number display requirements. For DOT NUMBERS on commercial vehicles and trucks it is only required that the DOT NUMBER be readable from 50 feet during daylight hours when the commercial vehicle is stationary.
