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: $5,000.

Source: FMCSA Motus · Oct 19, 2026. Identical filings repeated in the FMCSA data are shown once; a filing listed under two dockets is one policy, not extra coverage. Coverage is the maximum amount filed with FMCSA, not the full policy.

Confirm current filings: Motus record ↗ and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.

Roadside inspections Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

No roadside inspections in this period.

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 Texas average covers 347,522 vehicle and 460,240 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 ↗

Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months

No violations recorded in roadside inspections in the last 24 months.

Crashes Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

No reportable crashes in this period.

Questions about JAMES FORWARDING COMPANY INC

Is JAMES FORWARDING COMPANY INC a broker or a carrier?

Both. JAMES FORWARDING COMPANY INC 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 JAMES FORWARDING COMPANY INC's operating authority allow?

FF744: Freight forwarder (may assemble and consolidate shipments and arrange their transportation, taking responsibility for them); Freight forwarder (may assemble and consolidate shipments and arrange their transportation, taking responsibility for them). MC810324: Household goods carrier (may move household goods for hire); Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).

Which information about JAMES FORWARDING COMPANY INC is old or missing?

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 JAMES FORWARDING COMPANY INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2363883. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (915) 615-0827, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches FF744 or MC810324, 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.

Other companies using (915) 615-0827

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.
