Chameleon Carrier Scan
Cross-references USDOT numbers against company names, addresses, phones, and officers to surface carriers re-registered to shed a prior safety record
A “chameleon” carrier shuts down under one USDOT number, to escape an out-of-service order or a poor safety history, and reappears under a new number with the same people, yard, and phone. Selecting one is a direct negligent-selection exposure for a broker or shipper (Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II). CarrierMark flags the chain.
