DOT Apply Reviews & Product Details

DOT Apply is a free online driver employment application for US trucking carriers. A carrier sets it up in a few minutes: find the company by its USDOT or MC number, confirm control with a code sent to the phone number FMCSA has on file, add a logo, and get a link. That one link works everywhere a carrier recruits: its website, job boards, Facebook groups, a text message, a QR code in the truck. The page can also be embedded on the carrier's own site. Drivers fill in the application on a phone. The CDL barcode fills in the license fields, and the medical card goes in as a photo. Before submitting, the driver signs the FCRA disclosure, the FCRA authorization, and the FMCSA PSP authorization. Each one is signed separately and stamped with IP, time, and a document hash, so the consent is on file before anyone orders an MVR or a PSP report. Each applicant shows up in the carrier's cabinet with a status, the signed PDF, and read-outs: what the CDL barcode says, gaps in the employment timeline, a §391.23 previous-employer call list, and whether the data is clean enough to order an MVR without it bouncing. DOT Apply does not pull MVR, PSP, or Clearinghouse records and does not run background checks. Those stay on the carrier's own accounts.
