- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
