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 inactive (last known)Without active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
Cargo cover filed: amount not published
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, (336) 763-2687, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC80262.
- 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. Cargo cover filed: amount not published.

"Replaced" means a new filing took over the day the old one ended. "Cancelled" means the insurer or the company ended the policy; if no replacement was filed in time, the company was uninsured with FMCSA in between.

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 North Carolina average covers 60,527 vehicle and 117,843 driver inspections of all North Carolina-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 SOUTH ATLANTIC FREIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION
What does SOUTH ATLANTIC FREIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for SOUTH ATLANTIC FREIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION (MC80262), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about SOUTH ATLANTIC FREIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION 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 SOUTH ATLANTIC FREIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 90872. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (336) 763-2687, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC80262, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
