- Private fleet, hauls its own goods
- Cargo carried
- Motor vehicles
- Logs, poles, lumber
- Utilities
Part 3Operating authority and insurance
No for-hire operating authority is on file for this USDOT number.
That's normal for a private fleet that hauls only its own goods, and for carriers that only operate within one state. A company that offers to haul your freight or your household goods for pay across state lines needs active authority. Check FMCSA's licensing system.

Part 9Before you hire or haul
- Match the USDOT number on the truck's door to this record, and the company name to the one you were quoted.
- For-hire across state lines needs active authority and insurance on file. "None" on a company that wants your freight is a stop sign.
- Call the telephone number on this record, not the one on a flyer, and ask for the MC number.
- For a move, get a written estimate and read FMCSA's Protect Your Move first.
