Hey T, I went to that USDOT site and tried to do it and now it has an additional step where they ask for who the company owner is and what their title is. I quit the process at that point.
But it looks like the USDOT process has been shut down. I can;t believe they're still broadcasting this after all this time. It appears the process was being abused and shut down a year ago. Just wanted to make sure no one filled out that form on line all the way to the end, because you might get yourself in trouble?
I went to the Google group that tells how to do this USDOT process - county notary - Highest Office in Law!
http://groups.google.com/group/county-notary_highest-office-in-law/browse_thr...
and on the home page it says:
"Hello folks,
Seems like the Power's To Wanna-Be, are Eliminating the REGISTRANT ONLY Status from the US DOT.
This was announced back in their August, 2009 Newsletter - and I missed it.
Could this have had some causal connection with my Abduction on August 3rd. 2009 - I don't know. But I don't think very much of coincidences that's for sure!
In either case, that "Portal" appears to have been CLOSED!
Although I have "not" received any notification from the US DOT, regarding my Registrant Status.
Therefore, I will continue to travel under that EXEMPTION until notified otherwise.
Will another be opened - Unknown? But we're always looking, watching and discerning,,,
Here is the article that is also in the attached pdf file, from Ben -
Registrant Only
USDOT Numbers
The registrant only number, created by PRISM, will be eliminated by FMCSA.
The registrant only number has not been used for the purpose for which it was created. Instead, this number has created havoc with the assignment of safety events and with the overall oversight of the motor carrier safety programs.
As mentioned in previous additions of this newsletter, the motor carrier that improperly uses a registrant only number escapes any oversight by FMCSA, including compliance reviews and the new entrant program audit.
A notice in the Federal register is the first step. The PRISM team has drafted the notice and it is currently under legal review. Once it is published, PRISM will send information letters to both the FMCSA Division Administrators and the state DMV offices. FMCSA will research the safety events on the registrant only records and take corrective action.
States will need to make relative system and forms changes. States may request funding to make the changes after they receive the information letter.
