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

Questions about Emperial Towing Inc

What does Emperial Towing Inc's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for Emperial Towing Inc (MC731251), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about Emperial Towing Inc 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. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Nov 17, 2010, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking Emperial Towing Inc?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1899502. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (708) 646-7375, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC731251, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

Other companies using (708) 646-7375

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.
