What we check
The things your team looks up by hand
Before a carrier hauls a load for you, someone checks they are who they say they are and are properly covered. We do that check and hand back a result.
- Operating authority is active
- MC and DOT numbers match the carrier name
- Authority type fits the work (for-hire property)
- Liability and cargo insurance are on file
- Coverage amounts meet your minimums
- Policy dates are current and not about to lapse
- Name and address match the rate confirmation
- Anything unusual, such as recent changes or mismatches, is noted
We check against FMCSA public records and the carrier's insurance certificate.
