Step 2 — Verify the FMCSA-listed phone

You can only activate AI Shield on the phone number published on your USDOT record.

This step is not asking for your personal cell. For the beta, we must verify the exact phone number FMCSA has published for this authority before Shield can activate. If that FMCSA number is your cell, tap Text or Call below, then enter the 6-digit code. Do not type your phone number into the code box.
FMCSA number on file
(no phone on FMCSA record)
No FMCSA-listed phone — verification cannot proceed for this DOT in MVP.

Trying to use a different cell?

You can tell us your personal cell for beta follow-up, but it will not unlock activation. AI Shield still requires the FMCSA-listed phone to be verified first.
