    LLC/ DOT Number

    I am posting this for some feedback, I run a side hustle doing scrap metal pickup. I've been tossing the idea around of starting an llc of the company and getting a US DOT number. Any feedback on this? Who is the best website to get an LLC done? Trying to boost my name out as well if anyone has successful tips!

    I wouldn't go through the trouble unless you have a significant amount of business income. Ask your accountant to set you up with whatever corporate structure makes the most sense for your circumstance.

    If you get a LLC / USDOT, you'll need to fill corporate tax reports, set up payroll and get insured.

    NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).
