The links below contain very important questions to ask of your Carriers and CREDENTIAL VERIFICATION techniques.

These links contain critical information that is NOT every day basic Consumer knowledge!

Boat transport link:

Car transport link:

MotorCycle Transport link:

http://www.uship.com/motorcycles/articles/Choosing-a-motorcycle-transporter/Household Goods link:

http://www.uship.com/moving/articles/investigating-moving-companies/Pet and Livestock transport link:

http://www.uship.com/Pets/articles/choosing-a-pet-transporter/

Freight shipping link:

http://www.uship.com/freight/articles/finding-a-freight-carrier/

!!Protect yourself and your property!!

Did you acquire and VERIFY the validity of your chosen Carrier's FEDERALLY MANDATED DOT & MC #'s as per the UShip User Agreement?  

http://www.uship.com/user_agreement.aspx

Note: Did you know that NO active "MC #" = No COMMERCIAL insurance? 

OOPS !!!!!!!

 

 INTERSTATE" transport requires an ACTIVE "MC" number! You verify it at the Government's "REAL TIME" web site: http://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/pkg_html.prc_limain

 

 Still don't understand? Read this:

I greatly appreciate the info you gave. What if they have a MC and DOT number but they are brand new to Uship and have no previous transactions that I can look up? Should I still trust them?

You are taking the FIRST step towards being able to trust them right now!!! YOU are becoming an INFORMED SHIPPER!!!! [Tongue] Once you get their MC#, Post it here and one (or more) of the great guys on this forum will help you to look it up and verify that they have all the appropriate authority and insurance and that it is all ACTIVE! Just because the guy is new to UShip, does not mean that they are new to transportation! Many of us here have been trucking for years and years and found UShip just recently, or found that there just wasn't much in the way of freight here for us, as we have our own regular customers and there are many other load boards that most of the time pay a lot better. But we stick around here in the forums for the camaraderie and to help out guys like you that are a little skiddish about the process. PLEASE feel free to ask ANY questions that you may have, no matter how trivial you may think that they are! We like informed shippers! They make our life a LOT easier!
Laterz,
Gator
