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.

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 Florida average covers 69,903 vehicle and 132,326 driver inspections of all Florida-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 SUNSHINE MOVERS OF SARASOTA LLC

What does SUNSHINE MOVERS OF SARASOTA LLC's operating authority allow?

MC1537260: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).

Which information about SUNSHINE MOVERS OF SARASOTA LLC is old or missing?

Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. 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.

What should I verify before booking SUNSHINE MOVERS OF SARASOTA LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4054744. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (941) 447-1719, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1537260, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
