Summary of Issue

Part IV of the OOS indicates that a company with an Inactive USDOT Number is to be placed OOS on a first offense and company with No USDOT Number is to be placed OOS when a history of operating a CMV with no USDOT number when required. Neither of these fully cover a company that has an "Intrastate Only" USDOT Number and is operating in Interstate Commerce.

Justification or Need

A company that has an "Intrastate Only" USDOT number does in-fact have a USDOT and may be mislead to believe that because they do have a USDOT number they may be allowed to operate in Interstate Commerce.

Request for Action

I am requesting clarification to determine when to place a carrier OOS for operating in Interstate Commerce when they have a USDOT number that is either identified as "Intrastate Only" or "Registrant Only".
