Errors and statuses

statuses.fmcsa is a Lendflow lifecycle message, not an FMCSA finding. Started means the asynchronous request is pending, and Success means Lendflow stored the provider response. A response containing error, including Failed to retrieve company info, marks the service and any waiting orchestration entry as failed.

FAQ

Is a USDOT number required?

No. Lendflow sends it when available and otherwise uses the business name and location for matching.

Does Success mean the carrier is authorized?

No. Success describes request completion. Review the USDOT and authority statuses in the provider result.

Can this service run in Data Orchestration?

Yes. FMCSA is included in the current Data Orchestration service definition.
