      So I looked it up and it appears to be a private citizen has applied and got accepted for a US DOT #. His name and address are listed, and he selected

      Private (property)

      As well as

      Priv. pass (non business)

      This is basically what these people think means they no longer need license or reg or insurance. The system is actually simply for tracking commercial and transport operations that happen intrastate.

      The thing is, even the businesses that get these correctly…they still need all the rest for whatever state they’re operating out of.
