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 Maine average covers 4,261 vehicle and 6,992 driver inspections of all Maine-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 ↗

What does CHRISTOPHER J BARD's operating authority allow?
MC499887: Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire).
Which information about CHRISTOPHER J BARD is old or missing?
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. The MCS-150 was last updated Apr 12, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking CHRISTOPHER J BARD?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1226496. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (207) 778-1543, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC499887, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
