ACTIVE

The USDOT number is live in the census file. This is the line SAFER shows first, and the only one most vetting stops at.

Both records agree

Register 2 — Carrier Licensing

Allowed to haul

ONE OF THREE

Authority is on file under docket MC1099851, and the register records no bar to hauling today.

Both records agree today. Neither stays true by itself: authority is granted and withdrawn between the day a carrier is approved and the day it hauls.

Watch this record for changes

The extract above is a snapshot of today. Authority is granted and withdrawn, insurance filings lapse, revocation orders land — and nobody tells the broker who booked the load last week. Leave an address and we will.

How to read it

Reading this record before you tender a load

Three lines decide whether BEN E KEITH COMPANY may legally take the freight: the registration status, the authority table, and whether a revocation order sits underneath. A carrier can pass the first and fail the other two on the same morning, which is the whole reason the registers are shown together here.

The full list is in the carrier directory, and any USDOT number outside it can be checked on the DOT number lookup. Searching by company name instead is on the FMCSA carrier search.
