Publish the approved business identity, the role your company performs, and contact information that reaches your team. Ask the responsible company officer to approve any authority, insurance, safety, or certification statement. A website editor should not infer the company's permitted work from a logo or a search result. The worksheet below prepares a factual website section. It does not verify a particular company's authority or suitability for a shipment. ## Start with the exact company identity Collect the legal name, public trading name, current business contact information, and identifiers approved for publication. Record which legal entity performs each advertised service. Check those fields before linking a public lookup result. Similar names or a shared brand do not establish that the record belongs to the business described on the page. Keep private account information, credentials, and internal operating documents out of the public brief. Give the builder only the facts and links approved for publication. ## Use the correct official lookup FMCSA's Licensing and Insurance search accepts a USDOT number, docket number, or combinations of legal name, trading name, and state. Use those identifiers to locate the matching entity. [FMCSA Licensing and Insurance search, checked 2026.10.22](https://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/pkg_carrquery.prc_carrlist). FMCSA's SAFER Company Snapshot describes company identification, size, commodity information, and safety records. It supports searches by USDOT number, MC/MX number, or company name. [FMCSA Company Snapshot, checked 2026.10.22](https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx). Keep those descriptions distinct. Do not label a generic SAFER link “proof of all authority.” Have the responsible person review the actual record and the precise website claim. ## Review claims one by one Use a proposed claim register before the builder designs the trust section. | Proposed statement | Evidence and approval needed | | --- | --- | | Company name | Approved entity and trading-name record | | Broker or other operating role | Responsible officer's approved description | | Published identifier | Matching official record | | Authority statement | Current source and qualified review of exact wording | | Insurance statement | Current approved evidence and publication wording | | Certification | Issuer record, permitted use, and current status | | Service coverage | Approved operating scope and any public limits | Leave a missing answer UNRESOLVED. Cut a badge or claim when the business cannot support its meaning. Do not replace a missing record with stock imagery. ## Make verification possible from the page Label each link with the system it opens and the entity the visitor should check. Verify the link behavior in the proposed public page. If a lookup requires a search, provide the approved identifier rather than suggesting the link opens a verified result. Avoid a screenshot presented as a current status guarantee. Name who reviews the public claims and which changes trigger another check. A linked record can change after your website is published. Keep the review date with your internal publication record. ## Keep contact and service boundaries clear Explain which office handles shipper requests and which handles carrier or supplier questions. Use the company's approved description of each service. Avoid implying that a broker operates equipment it does not operate. Arrange a controlled inquiry with the relevant team. Verify that the received request includes the selected service and callback details. Check the phone link and alternate contact route separately. ## Put proof maintenance in the scope Give the builder the approved identity record, claim register, official lookup links, and correction owner. Require a final comparison against those sources before release. Bring that material to the [logistics website page](/for/logistics-and-supply-chain). Ask Scale With Search to define company facts and contact checks in a [written website scope](/work).
