Do not book until these are resolved · 2 signals
How risk signals workAt least one fact in the FMCSA record should stop a booking until it is cleared up. Confirm the current record on Motus first; it is not a finding of wrongdoing.
- No broker bond or trust fund on fileBrokers must keep $75,000 of financial security (BMC-84 or BMC-85) on file.
- Liability insurance below the required minimum$750,000 on file; $1,000,000 required.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA
Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record. Safety record: SAFER.
- Call back on the number on file, (612) 242-1325, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1816.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.
Insurance on file
Liability (BI&PD) pays for injury and damage to other people and property; it does not cover the freight. Cargo insurance covers the freight. FMCSA only requires cargo filings from household goods carriers and freight forwarders, so most carriers file none: ask for a cargo certificate that fits your load. No cargo cover filed with FMCSA.
| Type | Docket | Layer | Insurer | Coverage | Effective | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liability (BI&PD) | MC1816 | Primary | United Financial Casualty Company Policy CA866202158 · BMC-91X | $750,000 | Dec 25, 2025 | Active |
Insurance that ended since 2024 · 1 policy
| Ended | Type | Insurer | Effective | How it ended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 25, 2025 | Liability (BI&PD) MC1816 | Great West Casualty Co. Policy MCP92857A | Dec 27, 2022 | Replaced |
"Replaced" means a new filing took over the day the old one ended. "Cancelled" means the insurer or the company ended the policy; if no replacement was filed in time, the company was uninsured with FMCSA in between.
Source: FMCSA Motus · Oct 20, 2026. Identical filings repeated in the FMCSA data are shown once; a filing listed under two dockets is one policy, not extra coverage. Coverage is the maximum amount filed with FMCSA, not the full policy.
Confirm current filings: Motus record and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.
Roadside inspections Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 2026. Vehicle rate = vehicle inspections with a vehicle out-of-service order ÷ vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6). Driver rate uses levels 1, 2, 3 and 6. The Minnesota average covers 31,529 vehicle and 62,829 driver inspections of all Minnesota-based carriers in this period. It mixes every type of operation, so compare with care; rates based on a handful of inspections say little. FMCSA's own SMS measures are weighted differently: SMS profile · SAFER snapshot
Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months

Crashes Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 2026

Questions about Sockeye
Is Sockeye a broker or a carrier?
Both. Sockeye holds active broker authority and active authority to haul freight. Check which role it is acting in on your load: as a broker it arranges another carrier; as a carrier it hauls with its own trucks.
What does Sockeye's operating authority allow?
MC1816: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority); Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire).
Which information about Sockeye is old or missing?
There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe.
What should I verify before booking Sockeye?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1130977. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (612) 242-1325, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1816, and ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.
