Never passes through another State or foreign country during transport
•
Interstate Hazmat Shipper — The company is an Interstate Hazardous Materials Shipper if any part of its business
operation offers, or makes Hazardous Materials available to a carrier for transportation in interstate or foreign
commerce. If the company makes the Hazardous Materials available AND also transports the Hazardous Materials,
then the company is considered to be both an Interstate Hazmat Shipper and an Interstate or Intrastate Motor Carrier.
Companies that are Hazmat Shippers only (don’t provide carrier transport) do not need a USDOT Number to operate
and therefore are not required to file this form. Interstate Hazmat Shippers must however, still comply with the
Hazardous Materials Regulations.
•
Intrastate Hazmat Shipper — The company is an Intrastate Hazardous Materials Shipper if it exclusively tenders or
makes Hazardous Materials available to an Intrastate Hazmat Carrier for actual transport. If the company offers or
makes available Hazardous Materials AND transports Hazardous Materials, then it is considered as both an
Intrastate Hazmat Shipper and an Interstate or Intrastate Motor Carrier (both options should be selected in response
to this item). If the company never operates as a carrier, but only operates as a Hazmat Shipper, it is not required to
obtain a USDOT Number and need not file this form. However, they will be required to comply with the Hazardous
Materials Regulations.
23. Operation Classification — Is based on the type of business the company is engaged in and will help determine the
FMCSA regulations the company is subject to. It will also determine if the company requires Interstate Operating Authority.
The company’s operations may place it under multiple operation classifications, so selections should be made carefully.
Definitions of Classifications:
A. Authorized For-Hire — A non-exempt (exempt Motor Carriers are defined in B, below) Motor Carrier who receives
compensation for transporting passengers, FMCSA-regulated goods, or household goods that are owned by others.
NOTE: If you select “Authorized For-Hire Carrier” as one of the company’s operation classifications, the company
will also be required to obtain Interstate Operating Authority (MC or MX Number) by filing the appropriate OP form
with the FMCSA.
B. Exempt For-Hire — A Carrier who receives compensation for transporting only exempt goods (commodities that are
NOT regulated by the FMCSA); or an Interstate Carrier transporting exclusively within a commercial zone that is
exempt from FMCSA operating authority rules. Carriers are also exempt if they only transport employees of their
company (e.g., a company shuttles its own employees to and from a work station). Exempt status typically excuses a
carrier from the Operating Authority requirement, but a USDOT Number is still required.
NOTE: Administrative Ruling No. 119 ( ) provides additional guidance for
identifying EXEMPT commodities (those NOT regulated by the FMCSA). If all the commodities that the company
transports appear on this list, then the commodities are considered exempt. Information about commercial zone
exemptions may be found at 49 CFR 372 ( ).
C. Private Property — A company that transports its own cargo, usually as a part of a business that produces, uses,
sells, and/or buys the cargo that is being hauled.
