DBA: Bdw Transport LLC

Authorized for Hire

Brian Williams, doing business as Bdw Transport LLC, is a registered motor carrier with the FMCSA under USDOT number 2400977 and MC number 827476. The company operates from Benson, NC, and currently has an inactive operating status, and has 1 power units and 1 drivers on record. Brokers and shippers should verify authority status before tendering loads to inactive carriers.

This USDOT is inactive

FMCSA lists this carrier as inactive, which means it is not currently authorized to operate. Inactive does not mean the carrier never existed or that the historical data on this page is inaccurate. The record stays on USDOTwatch because brokers, insurers, and compliance teams still need to look up historical entities, audit past bookings, and trace predecessor carriers when reviewing related operations. See the methodology for how inactive records are handled.

Is this carrier bookable?

Blocking Record Issue

There is a blocking issue on this exact carrier record that should be resolved before booking.

Six things go into this read of Brian Williams's record: operating authority, out-of-service status, insurance filings, safety rating, BASIC percentile scores, and MCS-150 freshness. Every one of them comes straight from the public FMCSA record. None of them tell you how the carrier handles damage claims or hits delivery windows, so always pull a fresh insurance certificate from the carrier and confirm rates and contact details on a current rate confirmation before you tender.

No active OOS order

Out-of-service orders

Every out-of-service order FMCSA has issued against Brian Williams. An out-of-service order means FMCSA legally prohibited the carrier from operating commercial vehicles for a period, usually after an unsafe rating, missed civil-penalty payments, or a major safety event. Orders with a rescind date have been lifted and the carrier was reinstated. Orders without a rescind date are still in effect and the carrier cannot legally move freight under that authority right now.

Authority revocations

Revocation orders FMCSA has issued against Brian Williams's operating authority. Voluntary revocations are typically requested by the carrier when winding down operations or restructuring. Involuntary revocations are FMCSA enforcement actions, usually triggered by missed insurance filings, missed civil penalty payments, or compliance failures. An involuntary revocation in the recent history is the strongest negative signal on this page.

Authority history

Every operating-authority action FMCSA has recorded against Brian Williams, sourced from the AuthHist public dataset. This covers original applications, dismissals, grants, suspensions, and reinstatements across every authority type the carrier has held or attempted to hold. A clean history typically shows one or two grant rows and nothing else. Multiple dismissals or revocations are worth a closer look before booking.

Safety

Everything FMCSA has on Brian Williams's safety record: the formal safety rating, behavior-analysis BASIC scores, full inspection and crash totals, and operational metrics like drivers per power unit and annual miles per power unit. Numbers below the national average sit in the green; numbers well above are worth a closer look.

Fleet profile

Owner-operator / very small (under 10 units)

Raw fleet counts only tell you so much about a carrier. A 100-truck fleet with 300 drivers is almost certainly running team or multi-shift over-the-road operations. A 100-truck fleet with 90 drivers is more likely owner-operators, regional, or local work. The ratios below are calculated from FMCSA fleet, mileage, and inspection data and show you how Brian Williams actually runs day to day. That helps you judge whether their capacity, utilization, and safety performance match the kind of load you're looking to tender.

Drivers per Power Unit

1.00

Roughly one driver per truck. Typical for regional or local fleets.

Miles per Power Unit

13,164 mi

Lower utilization often seen with local, dedicated, or specialty operations (2013 data).

Crashes per 1,000 Units

0.0

Below industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

Insurance

What FMCSA's Licensing & Insurance system has on file for Brian Williams right now, and the full filing history including cancelled policies. A current ON FILE status is the baseline; the history below is where you spot recent cancellations, instability, or coverage gaps that the live status field can't show on its own.

No filing on record

Insurance history

Every insurance filing FMCSA has on record for Brian Williams, up to the 25 most recent including cancelled policies. Each row shows the form type, the insurance company, when the policy went into effect, and when (or if) it was cancelled. Common things brokers look for: a recent cancellation with no replacement on file (the carrier may not have valid coverage right now), repeated short-lived policies with different insurers (instability), and the actual coverage amount versus the freight value.

Form / Type	Insurer	Effective	Cancelled	Coverage
Form 91X	PROGRESSIVE SOUTHEASTERN INSURANCE COMPANY	2014-02-25	2014-06-22 CANCEL	$1,000
Form 91X	PROGRESSIVE SOUTHEASTERN INSURANCE COMPANY	2013-05-20	2014-02-25 CANCEL	$1,000

Connected carriers

Other FMCSA-registered carriers whose contact information matches this one. We match on normalized phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses across every active and inactive USDOT record. Sharing contact details is common between affiliated companies, recently rebranded operations, fleet acquisitions, and shared dispatch offices, so a match alone is not a problem. Brokers typically review the matched carriers alongside the one they are about to book to confirm the relationship is what they expect.

Process agents (BOC-3)

Every state where Brian Williams has filed a designated agent to receive legal process on its behalf. FMCSA requires a complete BOC-3 filing covering all 50 states (plus DC) before granting interstate operating authority. A carrier listed for fewer than 51 jurisdictions either operates intrastate only, has not yet completed its BOC-3 filing, or has had a state agent terminate without replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions brokers and shippers ask about Brian Williams and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.

What is the USDOT number for Brian Williams?

Brian Williams is assigned USDOT number 2400977 by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This number uniquely identifies the carrier in federal safety records and is used to track inspections, crashes, compliance reviews, and operating authority over time.

What is the MC number for Brian Williams?

Brian Williams's MC number is 827476. The MC (Motor Carrier) number is the operating authority number issued by FMCSA, separate from the USDOT number. It authorizes the carrier to transport regulated commodities for hire in interstate commerce.

Is Brian Williams authorized to operate?

Brian Williams's current operating status is INACTIVE. They do not currently have a formal safety rating from FMCSA. Always verify operating authority and request a current insurance certificate before tendering loads.

What does it mean that Brian Williams is inactive?

An inactive operating status means Brian Williams's USDOT registration has lapsed, often because they failed to file the required biennial MCS-150 update or chose to deactivate their authority. Inactive carriers are not currently authorized to operate. Do not tender loads to inactive carriers without first verifying current authority directly with FMCSA.

How large is Brian Williams's fleet?

Brian Williams operates 1 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 1 drivers on their FMCSA MCS-150 form. Fleet figures are self-reported and updated biennially, so the live operational fleet may differ slightly.

Where is Brian Williams located?

Brian Williams is headquartered in Benson, North Carolina at 3597 Woods Crossroads Rd. They operate in interstate commerce across state lines.

What does "Not Rated" mean?

"Not Rated" means FMCSA has not conducted a formal compliance review for this carrier. It does not indicate a safety problem on its own. The vast majority of registered carriers operate without a formal rating because compliance reviews are typically only triggered by elevated risk indicators, complaints, or scheduled audits. Use BASIC scores, inspection history, and crash records to evaluate unrated carriers.

How often is FMCSA data updated?

FMCSA refreshes carrier census data daily. Inspection and crash records are typically published within 30 days of the underlying event. Safety ratings and BASIC scores update on FMCSA's monthly cycle. The "last checked" timestamp at the bottom of this page shows when the most recent FMCSA poll happened.

Should I monitor Brian Williams for changes?

If you tender loads to Brian Williams regularly, monitoring is worth considering. Operating authority can lapse, insurance can drop, and safety ratings can change between bookings. Email alerts surface those changes the moment FMCSA publishes them, so you find out before your next load instead of after a problem on the road.

Where does this data come from?

All data on this page is sourced from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) via the DOT Open Data Portal. It includes the Company Census File, roadside inspection records, crash reports, and SMS/BASIC safety scores. Data is self-reported by carriers and updated regularly by FMCSA. For the authoritative single-source-of-truth record, cross-reference with FMCSA SAFER.
