- Operating authority is inactive (last known)Without active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
MC1216997: no authority granted
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.
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, (251) 463-0331, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1220046 or MC1216997.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

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 Alabama average covers 33,234 vehicle and 59,607 driver inspections of all Alabama-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
35 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 5 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 45 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026 window. The SMS count comes from FMCSA's own monthly SMS snapshot, which uses its own 24-month window and only the violations it scores. Both are FMCSA figures; they measure different things.

Questions about HCL CONTRACTING LLC
What does HCL CONTRACTING LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for HCL CONTRACTING LLC (MC1220046, MC1216997), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about HCL CONTRACTING LLC is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. No insurance filings were found in the public data. 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 HCL CONTRACTING LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1527791. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (251) 463-0331, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1220046 or MC1216997, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
