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 inactiveWithout active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA
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, (731) 733-4039, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1189119.
- 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. No cargo cover filed with FMCSA.

| Liability (BI&PD) | MC1189119 | Primary | PROGRESSIVE HAWAII INSURANCE CORP Policy CA3288239 · 91X | $750,000 | Feb 24, 2021 | Active |

How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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 Tennessee average covers 76,642 vehicle and 133,725 driver inspections of all Tennessee-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 WILLIAM A MILLS
What does WILLIAM A MILLS's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for WILLIAM A MILLS (MC1189119), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about WILLIAM A MILLS is old or missing?
Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot. 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 WILLIAM A MILLS?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3550825. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (731) 733-4039, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1189119, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
