What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (805) 981-4071, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC684217 or MC874581.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.
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.

How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 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 California average covers 398,614 vehicle and 510,215 driver inspections of all California-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
57 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 16 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 83 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 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 California column is the mix across all California-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 CHANNEL ISLANDS LOGISTICSINC
Is CHANNEL ISLANDS LOGISTICSINC a broker or a carrier?
Both. CHANNEL ISLANDS LOGISTICSINC holds active broker authority and active authority to haul freight. Check which role it is acting in on your load: as a broker it arranges another carrier; as a carrier it hauls with its own trucks.
What does CHANNEL ISLANDS LOGISTICSINC's operating authority allow?
MC684217: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers). MC874581: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).
Which information about CHANNEL ISLANDS LOGISTICSINC 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.
What should I verify before booking CHANNEL ISLANDS LOGISTICSINC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1906425. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (805) 981-4071, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC684217 or MC874581, and ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.
