Intrastate
Connecticut adopted Sec. 390.21 of the Federal Regulations as regulation incorporated under CGS 14-163c-1, and has established the following policy for compliance:
Connecticut State Law requires that motor carriers operating commercial vehicles intrastate and meeting any or all of the following requirements:
- Vehicles (intrastate) exceeding 18,001 lb manufacturer’s GVWR, or
- Transporting placardable amounts of hazardous materials, or
- Is designed or used to transport more than eight passengers, including the driver, for compensation, or
- Is designed or used to transport more than fifteen passengers, including the driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation.
Display upon each vehicle the following information:
- The legal name or trade name of the motor carrier operating the self propelled motor vehicle as listed on the Motor Carrier Identification Report (MCS 150CT).
- The US DOT number preceded by the letters “US DOT.” Additionally, the number must have the suffix “CT” if the carrier is an intrastate only carrier.
- If the name of any person other than the operating carrier appears on the motor vehicle operated under its own power, either alone or in combination, the name of the operating carrier shall be followed by the information required by paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section, and be preceded by the words “operated by.”
- Other identifying information may be displayed on the vehicle if it is not inconsistent with the information required above.
The marking must:
- Appear on both sides of the self propelled vehicle;
- Be in letters that contrast sharply in color with the background;
- Be readily legible, during daylight hours, for a distance of 50 feet while the vehicle is stationary; and
- Be kept and maintained in a manner that retains the legibility required by number (3) above. The marking may be painted on the motor vehicle. A removable device may be used if it meets the identification and legibility requirements. The marking must be maintained to remain legible.
Applications for a CT issued US DOT number must be submitted to the Connecticut Motor Vehicle Department.
Interstate
All commercial motor carriers (for-hire and private) operating interstate are subject to the marking requirements of 49 CFR 390.21 which requires all CMVs to display, on both sides of the power unit, the US DOT number and the legal name of the business entity that owns or controls the motor carrier operation, or the “doing business as” (DBA) name, as it appears on the Form MCS 150.
Any new or used commercial vehicles added to a motor carrier’s fleet must be identified with the US DOT number and single trade name before being put into service.
The regulations do not require the MC number or city/state to be displayed on the vehicle.
