Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.

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.

Insurance on file

Liability (BI&PD) pays for injury and damage to other people and property; it does not cover the freight. Cargo insurance covers the freight. FMCSA only requires cargo filings from household goods carriers and freight forwarders, so most carriers file none: ask for a cargo certificate that fits your load. No cargo cover filed with FMCSA.

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 Indiana average covers 61,543 vehicle and 111,154 driver inspections of all Indiana-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 THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM INC

What does THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM INC's operating authority allow?

MC106187: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).

Which information about THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM INC is old or missing?

Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot. The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 9, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 134589. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (812) 282-7941, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC106187, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

Other companies using (812) 282-7941

A shared number is common for related companies, dispatch services and family businesses. It is not proof of fraud, but it is worth knowing which company you are dealing with.
