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 Texas average covers 347,522 vehicle and 460,240 driver inspections of all Texas-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 PONIL LLC
What does PONIL LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for PONIL LLC (MC588379), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about PONIL LLC is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. No insurance filings were found in the public data. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate.
What should I verify before booking PONIL LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1589551. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (575) 224-6489, not a number from an email or load board message.
