This is in all senses a SCAM no matter how you try approach it. These people are highly trained and very good at appearing as if they are officials. They contact you within hours of applying for a new DOT number with the FMCSA website. They are able to quickly run you in circles and make you think your getting set up to drive and use your new DOT number. Turns out these guys are just third party sales sharks. Within an hour after the phone call I tried to reverse the charge I stupidly allowed (I was not given enough info on total costs). After multiple calls to try get my money back they would only offer half, claiming all my paperwork was already done. I called my credit card company and canceled the card. These people need to be stopped. This has to somehow be illegal. Do NOT fall for this trap!
