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 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 California average covers 398,428 vehicle and 509,934 driver inspections of all California-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 K D EXPRESS INC

What does K D EXPRESS INC's operating authority allow?

MC606955: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).

Which information about K D EXPRESS 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. 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 K D EXPRESS INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1372843. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (530) 363-2966, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC606955, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
