No risk signals in the last-known data
How risk signals workNothing in the FMCSA record matched our risk signals. That is not a guarantee, and it does not confirm who you are talking to; follow the checks below. Authority and insurance are last known from May 14, 2026.
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, (812) 852-0009, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC194856.
- Ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.
Bond & 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.

What does TRI STATE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE's operating authority allow?
MC194856: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).
Which information about TRI STATE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE is old or missing?

What should I verify before booking TRI STATE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE?
