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 Tennessee average covers 76,642 vehicle and 133,725 driver inspections of all Tennessee-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
19 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 7 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 34 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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 LYON ROOFING INCORPORATED
What does LYON ROOFING INCORPORATED's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for LYON ROOFING INCORPORATED (MC978351, MC978351), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

What should I verify before booking LYON ROOFING INCORPORATED?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1416820. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (423) 538-5169, not a number from an email or load board message.
