Verify the company.
Then verify the crew.
A practical review path for operating authority, safety identity, insurance, equipment, lift capability, subcontractors, comparable work and exception planning.
Organize the facts before opening a state system.
This page is educational. Every state and road owner controls its own permit names, thresholds, fees, routing and movement conditions.
Carrier verification
- Legal name, USDOT number and MC authority where applicable
- Current operating-authority and insurance-filing status in official federal systems
- Actual tractor, trailer, axle capacity and securement equipment
- Driver and escort roles, permit responsibility and route experience
- Broker, carrier and subcontractor identities kept distinct
Rigger verification
- Performing legal entity, crew lead and comparable machine references
- Forklift, crane, gantry, jack, skate, sling and spreader capacities
- Lift points, center of gravity, floor loading and engineered-lift needs
- Applicable training, inspection records, licenses and site safety plan
- Who supplies mats, plates, cribbing, blocking, protection and cleanup
A repeatable research sequence.
Move from machine facts to the actual vehicle, route and authority.
Verify identity
Match the quote, contract, equipment, insurance and official records to the performing entities.
Verify capacity
Confirm ratings against the heaviest lift, weakest component and actual geometry.
Verify the plan
Review site access, sequence, exclusion zones, communications and stop-work criteria.
Verify handoffs
Document who accepts custody and condition at every transition.
Verify the movement at the source.
Government systems and the issued permit control—not a third-party summary.
