We have two DOT numbers, but we want to consolidate and deactivate one of them. How do we do that?
expand_moreexpand_lessAn unused USDOT number may be deactivated by submitting an updated MCS-150 or MCS-150B form. In the “reason for filing” section of the form, check the box labeled “Out of Business Notification.” If the entity had for-hire authority, that needs to be canceled separately using Form OCE-46 to request a voluntary revocation of the authority. Note that if one entity under one Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN) has more than one USDOT number, the numbers should be consolidated. Two entities under separate FEINs should not share a USDOT number, even if related.
