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.

"Replaced" means a new filing took over the day the old one ended. "Cancelled" means the insurer or the company ended the policy; if no replacement was filed in time, the company was uninsured with FMCSA in between.

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 Texas average covers 347,597 vehicle and 460,316 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 EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT LLC
What does EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT LLC's operating authority allow?
MC654756: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).
Which information about EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT LLC 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. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Oct 15, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1758904. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (469) 480-7175, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC654756, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (469) 480-7175
A shared number is common for related companies, dispatch services and family businesses. It is not proof of fraud, but it is worth knowing which company you are dealing with.
