Do we need to be DOT approved/ registered? This <br>seems like a special case, since regular shipping companies do not <br>deliver to these remote areas.<br><br>The regulations etc are amazingly daunting. In the past, I've <br>considered it a case of a contractor transporting building materials to <br>the job site. We're not a carrier, that delivers packages for others for <br>a living. We have rented a truck with a DOT# when we need something <br>over the 10,000 lb gross vehicle limit, like a 1 ton truck. I'm hoping <br>that would be adequate.<br><br>Thanks in advance for your advice,<br><br>-- <br>R.
