Intrastate motor carriers must complete a Maine Motor Carrier Identification Report (MV-253) to obtain a USDOT Number. There is no fee required. The USDOT Number will be used to uniquely identify motor carrier operators within Maine. The number will appear on the registration documents and will always be assigned to a specific motor carrier.
