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, (708) 635-6781, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1135424.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

Roadside inspections Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
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 Illinois average covers 195,435 vehicle and 388,021 driver inspections of all Illinois-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 COTTAGE GROVE TRANSPORTATION INC
What does COTTAGE GROVE TRANSPORTATION INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for COTTAGE GROVE TRANSPORTATION INC (MC1135424), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about COTTAGE GROVE TRANSPORTATION INC 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. 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 COTTAGE GROVE TRANSPORTATION INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3469929. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (708) 635-6781, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1135424, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
