Register 1 — Motor Carrier Census

Registered

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.

These two records disagree

Register 2 — Carrier Licensing

Allowed to haul

NO AUTHORITY

Common, contract and broker authority are all not held, and one revocation order sits on the docket.

This carrier is listed as an active registration and yet holds no active operating authority. A load tendered to it today would move without the authority the record requires.

The one thing this site asks of you

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 Authority is granted and withdrawn, insurance filings lapse, revocation orders land — and nobody tells the broker who booked the load last week.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 CARTER LUMBER TRANSPORT LLC 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.
