- Call back on the number on file, (410) 646-4900, not a number from an email or load board.

- 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. Cargo cover filed: amount not published.

How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 42,334 vehicle and 51,684 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 ↗

Source: FMCSA SMS violation file, inspections in the last 24 months, published Oct 20, 2026. "Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Maryland column is the mix across all Maryland-based carriers, so you can see which kinds of problems stand out. A high count partly reflects fleet size and how often trucks are inspected.

Questions about DIRECT DISTRIBUTION & TRANSPORTATION INC
What does DIRECT DISTRIBUTION & TRANSPORTATION INC's operating authority allow?
MC571415: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).
Which information about DIRECT DISTRIBUTION & TRANSPORTATION 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. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe. The MCS-150 was last updated Jun 12, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking DIRECT DISTRIBUTION & TRANSPORTATION INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1534334. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (410) 646-4900, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC571415, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
