How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 Wisconsin average covers 42,218 vehicle and 76,954 driver inspections of all Wisconsin-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
Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months
1 violation counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 1 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 5 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 2026 window. The SMS count comes from FMCSA's own monthly SMS snapshot, which uses its own 24-month window and only the violations it scores. Both are FMCSA figures; they measure different things.

Source: FMCSA SMS violation file, inspections in the last 24 months, published Oct 20, 2026. "Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Wisconsin column is the mix across all Wisconsin-based carriers, so you can see which kinds of problems stand out. A high count partly reflects fleet size and how often trucks are inspected.

Questions about Blue Northern Distributing LLC
What does Blue Northern Distributing LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for Blue Northern Distributing LLC (MC482977), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about Blue Northern Distributing LLC 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Oct 19, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking Blue Northern Distributing LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1120339. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (888) 901-6455, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC482977, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
