Do not book until these are resolved · 1 signal
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. Authority and insurance are last known from May 14, 2026.
- Operating authority is inactive (last known)Without active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
Cargo cover filed: amount not published
Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.
Not a live check. FMCSA has not published a Motus record for this carrier, so authority and insurance show the last known status from May 14, 2026. Confirm on Motus ↗ before booking.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (620) 793-3531, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC377864.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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. Cargo cover filed: amount not published.

How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 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 Kansas average covers 19,639 vehicle and 32,357 driver inspections of all Kansas-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 ↗

Questions about THE GREAT BEND COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
What does THE GREAT BEND COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for THE GREAT BEND COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION (MC377864), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about THE GREAT BEND COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot.
What should I verify before booking THE GREAT BEND COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 151604. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (620) 793-3531, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC377864, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
