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. Cargo cover filed: amount not published.

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 Pennsylvania average covers 99,684 vehicle and 169,174 driver inspections of all Pennsylvania-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 JV Transportation Inc
What does JV Transportation Inc's operating authority allow?
MC696158: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).
Which information about JV Transportation Inc 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Jul 16, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking JV Transportation Inc?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 1964529. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (724) 438-6420, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC696158, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
