What Is the FMCSA?

In short: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the U.S. agency that regulates commercial trucking. It sets safety standards, grants operating authority, and enforces rules on driver hours, vehicle inspections, and insurance.

Why the FMCSA Matters: A carrier’s FMCSA standing — its DOT number, safety rating, and authority — tells you whether it’s legal and safe to haul your freight.

FMCSA in Cross-Border Shipping: Carriers running into the U.S. from Mexico must meet FMCSA rules, and scrutiny of cross-border operations has been rising.

Crown Xpress Transport: Verifiable Carrier Information

Crown Xpress Transport Inc. can provide shippers with information that can be independently verified through FMCSA.

FMCSA’s SAFER records identify Crown Xpress Transport Inc. under USDOT Number 1099085 and MC-453813. The USDOT status is listed as Active, and the company is shown as Authorized for Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods). FMCSA also lists the carrier’s operation as Interstate.

The same FMCSA record currently shows Crown Xpress Transport with a Satisfactory federal safety rating. The rating date shown by FMCSA is March 5, 2008.

For customers researching a transportation partner, publishing this information provides something more useful than simply stating that a company is compliant: it gives them the identifiers they need to independently verify the carrier through official federal records.
