SUNSET TIMBER TRANSPORT LLC
SUNSET TIMBER TRANSPORT LLC (USDOT 752682, MC1415285) is an interstate motor carrier based in E CHARLESTON, VT, operating a small fleet of 2 power units. FMCSA shows operating authority as active for Motor Carrier of Property (Except Household Goods), granted 2025-06-16. The insurance file carries a $5,000 BMC-34 filing from RLI Insurance Company, effective 2025-06-18. 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.
