John in La is much more articulate on this stuff than I am but I'll take a stab. First off, it's not "for hire" that matters. For hire means nothing.

State laws vary, exemptions exist, but that is the basic qualifier for DOT numbers.
And for the guy with the minivan needing a DOT#, yup! You might need a DOT# on a motorcycle if you're hauling HazMat!
