Thanx!You don't see it listed on their profile page then ask them for it through the Q&A option of your listing. Then follow UShip's Shipper tips link below. Use Uship’s Shipper tips link at: http://www.uship.com/tips/showtip.aspx?tipid=200 It's titled: What is a LEGAL carrier? and it reads: A LEGAL carrier is a service provider who has filed the proper paperwork with the Department Of Transportation (DOT) and has acquired the proper limits of insurance per the DOT guidelines. It is federal law that ANYONE who transports anything in a "for hire" capacity must be deemed legal and issued a DOT or MC (motorcarrier) Number in order to operate in that aspect of commerce. Although different criteria apply to different types of cargo, ALL service providers MUST be registered with the DOT. All LEGAL carriers can be checked out at the FMCSA(federal motor carrier safety administration) website by their DOT#, MC#, or legal company name. This website can be found at: www.safersys.org/companysnapshot.aspx Be sure to check Licensing and Insurance section as well.
!!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.aspxNote: 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: http://forums.uship.com/Topic46915-14-1.aspx

Shippers have numbers? and Authority? Man, I knew I had been doing something wrong....
I thought only us Carriers (TSP's) had to have numbers/authority/insurance....
