Safety summary: too few roadside inspections to summarize. 0 vehicle and 0 driver inspections from 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 (Vehicle Inspection File); we compare a rate only from 5 inspections of that kind. 21 reported crashes in the same 24 months (Crash File).
What this summary is: a count of how many of this carrier's two out-of-service rates sit above FMCSA's national averages, worked out from the public files cited here. FMCSA's BASIC percentiles rank a carrier against a peer group; this summary uses no peer group and gives no percentile or score. Crashes are counted with no national crash average beside them.
How this was worked out
Every input, the FMCSA file it came from, and the dates it covers. Inspection counts are the Vehicle Inspection File rows for USDOT 335555 with an inspection date on or after 2024-10-31; crash counts are the Crash File rows for the same USDOT with a report date on or after 2024-10-31, each crash once, under its worst outcome. Read 2026-10-31 01:15 UTC.
| Input | Number | Source | Window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6) | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| Vehicle inspections with the vehicle put out of service | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| Driver inspections (levels 1, 2, 3 and 6) | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| Driver inspections with the driver put out of service | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| Reported crashes | 21 (1 fatal, 5 injury, 15 tow-away only) | Crash File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| Violations recorded (sum of each inspection's violation total) | 0 across 0 inspections | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| Inspections with hazardous materials put out of service | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| States where inspected | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| People killed / injured in reported crashes | 1 / 7 | Crash File | 2024-10-31 to 2026-10-31 |
| National vehicle out-of-service average | 22.26% | FMCSA SAFER Company Snapshot | as of 2026-09-25 |
| National driver out-of-service average | 6.67% | FMCSA SAFER Company Snapshot | as of 2026-09-25 |
The arithmetic
- Vehicle: 0 inspections, fewer than 5, so no comparison. With 5 inspections one more out-of-service result moves the rate by 1 ÷ 5 × 100 = 20 points; with fewer it moves more.
- Driver: 0 inspections, fewer than 5, so no comparison. With 5 inspections one more out-of-service result moves the rate by 1 ÷ 5 × 100 = 20 points; with fewer it moves more.
- No rate had enough inspections, so there is no summary line.

Days with no filing on record
None found: in the filings above that list both dates, each cancellation date is met by another filing of the same cover effective on or before it.
Worked out from the two tables above: the time between one filing's cancellation date (Motus InsHist - All With History) and the next effective date for the same docket and cover (Motus InsHist - All With History or Motus Insur - All With History). Excess layers are left out. FMCSA's own insurance-related suspensions are in the authority history.
