Intrastate
Iowa has adopted Sec. 390.21 of the Federal Regulations.
Section 390.21 applies to commercial vehicles with a gross weight or combined gross weight of 10,001 or more pounds, as well as to commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of 10,001 or more pounds. Vehicles transporting hazardous materials requiring placarding are also subject.
Section 390.21 does not apply to combination vehicles provided the gross vehicle weight rating of the power unit is 10,000 pounds or less and the gross combination weight rating is 26,000 pounds or less.
For-hire carriers operating commercial vehicles in intrastate commerce are required to mark the power unit with the operating motor carrier’s name and USDOT number.
Intrastate private carriers are not required to obtain a USDOT number. According to the Iowa DOT’s Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement, no warnings or citations will be issued for intrastate private carriers not displaying a USDOT number.
The US DOT number must have the suffix “IA” if the carrier is an intrastate only carrier.
Example: USDOT 123456 IA
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.
