JAMES WILSON COMPANY
JAMES WILSON COMPANY (USDOT 27102, MC298653) is an interstate motor carrier based in CHATTANOOGA, TN, operating a fleet of 7 power units. FMCSA shows operating authority as active for Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods), granted 1996-02-06. The most recent primary liability filing was cancelled effective 2026-06-15 by A I Transport, and no replacement filing is on record. 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.
