The Limos.com Forum Has Moved!!!

I maybe sending out some cars to Rhode Island. Are there any regulations for limos 10-20 passengers? Do I need any permits just to do any pickups/drop offs within the state? ANy DOT regulations?

If doing interstate transport (NY origination & termination) & you're DOT registered/compliant, no problems as this is what the RIDE Act covers. If you want to work intrastate in RI, suggest that you investigate what Dean provided & get licensed to provide intrastate transport in RI.

Looks like the lookup on the UCR site is not even operational. I would say if you are in the SAFER system you are OK as long as you have a check mark next to carrier operation: "interstate"

Dont know about fees, sorry

We are listed on FMSCA but I dont believe that we are in UCR center. Does that cost anything?

Yea do not think I have ever seen a RI carrier here. If your really curious you can call a few, here's a list:

RI Carriers

A long as you are registered with the UCR you will be good to go. I think just having a DOT # does not mean you are registered with the UCR, I believe. You look yourself up?

Yeah, I have the FMSCA DOT number but I wonder what Rhode Island operators have to say about operating there. Looks like we have no Rhode Island operators on this forum.

Seems Like regestration in the Unified Carrier Registration Agreement (UCR) is all you would need. You already registered there?

Any Rhode Island operators here?

Google the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission. Go to Motor Carriers.
