Insurance note: This carrier holds no MC operating authority, so it files no liability insurance with FMCSA and none is required — federal BIPD filings apply only to for-hire carriers operating under FMCSA authority. An empty federal insurance record is expected here and is not evidence that the carrier is uninsured; coverage is carried under state requirements. Request a certificate of insurance naming you as certificate holder to confirm it. For real-time certificate verification, check FMCSA SAFER Web ↗.
