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 Maryland average covers 42,361 vehicle and 51,705 driver inspections of all Maryland-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 J N NEWMAN TRUCKING LLC

What does J N NEWMAN TRUCKING LLC's operating authority allow?

MC580801: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).

Which information about J N NEWMAN TRUCKING LLC 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. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate.

What should I verify before booking J N NEWMAN TRUCKING LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1396191. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (240) 765-9602, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC580801, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
