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.

| Liability (BI&PD) | MC606889 | Primary | GEICO MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY Policy 9300085535 · 91X | $750,000 | Nov 12, 2024 | Active |

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 South Carolina average covers 18,704 vehicle and 40,858 driver inspections of all South Carolina-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
6 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 6 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 12 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.

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the South Carolina column is the mix across all South Carolina-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 PEARSON TRUCKING LLC OF CHARLESTON
What does PEARSON TRUCKING LLC OF CHARLESTON's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for PEARSON TRUCKING LLC OF CHARLESTON (MC606889), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about PEARSON TRUCKING LLC OF CHARLESTON 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 Apr 26, 2023, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking PEARSON TRUCKING LLC OF CHARLESTON?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1555438. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (843) 569-3504, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC606889, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
