You own a commercial vehicle for private use do you need a us dot number?

You need to be more specific. If it's for private use, is it a registered farm vehicle, recreational vehicle, or other vehicle exempt from classification as a commercial vehicle under FMCSR? In those cases, no, you don't. You might, however, be required to display "Not For Hire" on the sides of that vehicle.


Commercial vehicle logo requirement?

There's no logo requirement on a commercial vehicle. On a Class 8 tractor--a semi--you need the license plate (base plate) and either a DOT number or "not for hire." You can put "not for hire" on a truck that is not used in commerce, like the tractor that pulls a race team's trailer. Everyone else must have a DOT number. But as far as logos go, you don't need to have a logo on your truck.

Can truck stack size make it a commercial vehicle?

No. A vehicle is commercial in nature based on its usage. More the same with classifying it as a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV), which requires an FHWA annual inspection sticker, registration as such, and DOT medical cards if used in interstate operations. Stack size does nothing to change the manner of use or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle.
