Source: FMCSA Licensing & Insurance (L&I), public data. This shows the carrier’s federal insurance filings (BMC-91X liability, BMC-34 cargo) — the federally-required minimums on file for operating authority — not the carrier’s full commercial policy (its actual auto combined-single-limit, general liability, cargo, or workers’ comp, which appear on the carrier’s ACORD certificate of insurance). Always confirm current coverage with a COI from the carrier’s agent before making a vetting decision.

Recommendations

What’s driving each score, what to do about it, and where it could go.

A high share of violations are occurring in Ste. Genevieve County, MO

Medium impact

5 of 22 violations in the last 12 months (23%) came from inspections in Ste. Genevieve County, MO. That can mean tougher enforcement there or simply more of your miles run through it — either way it's worth a look.

What to do
  • Review the inspections from Ste. Genevieve County, MO to spot recurring issues
  • Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance

Low impact

Estimated Hours-of-Service Compliance percentile of 39% is under the 60% line. In decent shape, but here's what's driving it.
