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.
