Watch · 4
- USDOT registration inactive — The USDOT record is flagged inactive — the carrier may not be authorized to operate.
- No inspection history despite active fleet — An established carrier reporting 1 power units has no roadside inspections — a common shell/paper-carrier signal.
- Reincarnated carrier — prior authority revoked — FMCSA links this carrier to a previously revoked operating authority — the classic chameleon-carrier pattern. Verify it is not evading an enforcement history.
- MCS-150 census data outdated — The biennial MCS-150 update is 6.1 years old; fleet/mileage figures may be unreliable.
