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 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 New Jersey average covers 63,084 vehicle and 96,072 driver inspections of all New Jersey-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 HIGGINS TRUCKING
What does HIGGINS TRUCKING's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for HIGGINS TRUCKING (MC606736), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about HIGGINS TRUCKING 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 14, 2017, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking HIGGINS TRUCKING?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1647823. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (609) 489-0889, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC606736, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
