The Missouri DOT (Department of Transportation) number, also known as the Missouri Motor Carrier Identification Number, is a unique identifier assigned to commercial motor carriers operating in the state of Missouri. This number is used for regulatory and tracking purposes to monitor and ensure compliance with various transportation laws and regulations.

Motor carriers in Missouri are required to obtain a DOT number if they meet certain criteria, which typically include:

1. Operating vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,001 pounds or more.
2. Transporting hazardous materials in quantities that require placarding.
3. Transporting more than 15 passengers (including the driver) for compensation.

To obtain a Missouri DOT number, carriers can typically apply through the Missouri Department of Transportation or the Missouri Department of Revenue. The specific application process may vary over time, so it's advisable to check with the relevant state agency or visit their website for the most up-to-date information on how to obtain a Missouri DOT number and any associated fees or requirements.

Please note that my knowledge is based on information available up to September 2021, and there may have been updates or changes to the process since then. Carriers should always verify the IRP Missouri's current requirements and procedures with the appropriate state authorities.
