SOUTHWESTERN MOTOR TRANSPORT INC
SOUTHWESTERN MOTOR TRANSPORT INC (USDOT 136555, MC80252) is an interstate motor carrier based in SAN ANTONIO, TX, operating a fleet of 312 power units. FMCSA shows operating authority as active for Broker of Property (Except Household Goods), granted 2013-06-04. The insurance file carries a $75,000 BMC-84 filing from Protective Insurance Company, effective 2013-10-01. Authority status and insurance status are held in separate FMCSA files and are not updated together, so an active authority line is not confirmation that coverage is on file. These figures are read from FMCSA Licensing & Insurance and SAFER on 2026-09-23; MC Sentry reports what is on file and does not rate or recommend carriers.

Authority status and insurance status are separate FMCSA files and are not updated together. An active authority record is not a statement that insurance is on file — how long that gap usually lasts.
