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.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (812) 858-5504, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC525892.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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 ↗
Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months
23 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 5 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 28 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 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.

Questions about PROSPECT TRUCKING INC
What does PROSPECT TRUCKING INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for PROSPECT TRUCKING INC (MC525892), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about PROSPECT TRUCKING INC is old or missing?

What should I verify before booking PROSPECT TRUCKING INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1377929. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (812) 858-5504, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC525892, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (812) 858-5504
