Before you sign with anyone — including us — spend four minutes on SAFER.
safer.fmcsa.dot.gov → Company Snapshot → enter the USDOT number.
1. Operating status — ACTIVE, or walk away
2. Insurance on file — no insurance means no authority tomorrow
3. Out-of-service rate — national vehicle average is 22.26%
4. Power units vs drivers — a mismatch is worth a question
5. Authority history — repeated revocations usually mean insurance lapses
Any recruiter who gets uncomfortable when you say "let me check your DOT" has answered you already.
Ours is USDOT 4150127. Go ahead.
Which of these five do you actually check before you sign?
