Not a live check. FMCSA has not published a Motus record for this carrier, so authority and insurance show the last known status from May 14, 2026. Confirm on Motus ↗ before booking.

How these rates are calculated

Period: Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 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 Montana average covers 4,994 vehicle and 8,417 driver inspections of all Montana-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 HELI-1 CORPORATION

What does HELI-1 CORPORATION's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for HELI-1 CORPORATION (MC1102535), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about HELI-1 CORPORATION 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. 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 HELI-1 CORPORATION?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1317551. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (406) 549-3880, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1102535, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
