Forming an LLC
We are a family farm that just started utilizing the down time that we have with our 3 semis and started hauling for hire.. We just formed a new company with an LLC. We have had The same DOT number for decades and I was wondering if I had to get a new one now beings the trucks will go under the LLCs ownership. Our prorate office says we can keep the same DOT numbers and just transfer ownership of the DOT account, but the "internet" says DOT numbers can't be transferred.
I just wanna make sure we do this right so it doesn't bite us in the butt down the road. If anyone has gone through this before, some advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS. What is this MC number I see on some trucks. Will it benefit me in any way going through the hoops I'm sure I'll have to jump through to get one?
