Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.

What to verify next

Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
Call back on the number on file, (806) 570-6501, not a number from an email or load board.
Check that the MC number you were given is MC896150.
Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

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.

Source: FMCSA Motus · —. 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.

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 Texas average covers 347,521 vehicle and 460,200 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

6 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 7 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 Texas column is the mix across all Texas-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 MARTIN CARNAHAN

What does MARTIN CARNAHAN's operating authority allow?

MC896150: Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire).

Which information about MARTIN CARNAHAN 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 MARTIN CARNAHAN?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2364003. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (806) 570-6501, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC896150, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as certificate holder.
