GLOBAL AUTO TRANSPORTATION INC
GLOBAL AUTO TRANSPORTATION INC (USDOT 2243114, FF56374) is an interstate motor carrier based in BURBANK, CA. FMCSA shows operating authority as active for Freight Forwarder of Property (Except Household Goods), granted 2025-10-24. The insurance file carries a $75,000 BMC-84 filing from Merchants Bonding Company (mutual), effective 2025-03-25. 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.
