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.
| Type | Docket | Layer | Insurer | Coverage | Effective | Status |

| Liability (BI&PD) | MC671223 | Primary | OLD REPUBLIC INSURANCE COMPANY Policy DHA00000155822 · 91X | $1,000,000 | Jun 1, 2021 | Cancelled Jun 1, 2026 |

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 Michigan average covers 51,399 vehicle and 85,567 driver inspections of all Michigan-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 5 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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 Michigan column is the mix across all Michigan-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 AAUSTIN EXPRESS - OHIO LLC
What does AAUSTIN EXPRESS - OHIO LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for AAUSTIN EXPRESS - OHIO LLC (MC671223), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about AAUSTIN EXPRESS - OHIO 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. 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.
What should I verify before booking AAUSTIN EXPRESS - OHIO LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1854089. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (734) 946-1007, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC671223, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (734) 946-1007
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.
