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) | MC1047429 | Primary | Acuity, A Mutual Insurance Company Policy CA-ZC9852 · BMC-91X | $750,000 | Oct 1, 2019 | Active |

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 Illinois average covers 195,366 vehicle and 387,861 driver inspections of all Illinois-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
3 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 0 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 6 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 Illinois column is the mix across all Illinois-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 Dennis Shafer Trucking LLC
What does Dennis Shafer Trucking LLC's operating authority allow?
MC1047429: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).
Which information about Dennis Shafer Trucking LLC is old or missing?
Operating authority has been stable since FMCSA's May 14, 2026 records, with no change recorded since. It is not a live check, so confirm on Motus before booking. Insurance filings have been unchanged since May 14, 2026. 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 Oct 4, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking Dennis Shafer Trucking LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1695300. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (309) 493-5013, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1047429, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
