If you haul horses across state lines for hire, you're doing interstate commerce, which means you need your USDOT and MC numbers. They're more than paperwork; they're your professional identity as a legal, trusted hauler. They protect you, your business, and the horses you haul. Without them, you could face:

• Being stopped and placed "Out of Service" at a weigh station or inspection site

• Costly fines or route shutdowns

• Horse(s) are stuck on the trailer until other accommodations are met

• Loss of insurance coverage if an accident occurs

• Damage to your credibility with clients and platforms that verify haulers (like us at Haulit Equine)

But don't stress, getting your numbers isn't as bad as it sounds. Here's how to make it smoother:

Register your USDOT through FMCSA's Unified Registration System: FMCSA USDOT Registration. If you're hauling for hire across state lines, apply for your MC Authority: Get MC Operating Authority. Submit your insurance, BOC-3 agent, and UCR permit. Keep your numbers current and visible on your rig.

At Haulit Equine, we're here to help haulers succeed, not just transport horses. We believe compliance = confidence.

When you run legal and verified, you open the door to more opportunities, safer hauls, and peace of mind.

Stay safe, stay professional, and keep hauling forward.
