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.

A high share of violations are occurring in Warren County, NJ

Medium impact

10 of 46 violations in the last 12 months (22%) came from inspections in Warren County, NJ. That can mean tougher enforcement there or simply more of your miles run through it — either way it's worth a look.

  • Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
