If you operate under two separate business entities, then you will likely need 2 dot numbers. If you operate under a single name and authority, then you should be able to use the same number.

gman i need two different one because if using the same one you have to get insurance through same company which is high because tow truck insurance is not covered by most otr truck insurance companys

Well, a dot number doesn't cost anything. I am all for doing what is necessary to save money on insurance, as long as it is legal. 8)
