- Call back on the number on file, (804) 263-7511, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1213096 or MC87570040.

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. No cargo cover filed with FMCSA.

Source: FMCSA Motus · Oct 18, 2026. Identical filings repeated in the FMCSA data are shown once; a filing listed under two dockets is one policy, not extra coverage. Coverage is the maximum amount filed with FMCSA, not the full policy.
Confirm current filings: Motus record ↗ and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.

Questions about DS SHIPPING LLC

What does DS SHIPPING LLC's operating authority allow?

Which information about DS SHIPPING LLC is old or missing?

FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe. The MCS-150 was last updated Mar 15, 2021, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking DS SHIPPING LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3586214. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (804) 263-7511, not a number from an email or load board message.
