- MC440897 is also listed on another company recordDOUGLAS D GOOD (USDOT 468941, added Jan 23, 1992). FMCSA's authority files do not say which record the docket belongs to, so its authority and insurance may belong to the other company. Compare the records →

Roadside inspections Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026. Vehicle rate = vehicle inspections with a vehicle out-of-service order ÷ vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6). Driver rate uses levels 1, 2, 3 and 6. The Illinois average covers 195,261 vehicle and 387,726 driver inspections of all Illinois-based carriers in this period. It mixes every type of operation, so compare with care; rates based on a handful of inspections say little. FMCSA's own SMS measures are weighted differently: SMS profile ↗ · SAFER snapshot ↗

Questions about TOM YODER
What does TOM YODER's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for TOM YODER (MC440897), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about TOM YODER is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. No insurance filings were found in the public data. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe.
What should I verify before booking TOM YODER?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1061400. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (815) 848-8466, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC440897, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
