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.

Roadside inspections Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

No roadside inspections in this period.

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 New Brunswick average covers 2,349 vehicle and 4,067 driver inspections of all New Brunswick-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

No violations recorded in roadside inspections in the last 24 months.

Crashes Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

Questions about PAUL DOBSON TRUCKING LTD

What does PAUL DOBSON TRUCKING LTD's operating authority allow?

MC531507: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).

Which information about PAUL DOBSON TRUCKING LTD 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 PAUL DOBSON TRUCKING LTD?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1400016. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (506) 638-9433, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC531507, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
