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

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

Crashes Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026

Questions about KEVIN SMITH

What does KEVIN SMITH's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for KEVIN SMITH (MC825856), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about KEVIN SMITH 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Feb 5, 2016, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking KEVIN SMITH?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2370402. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (202) 521-1484, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC825856, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

Other companies using (202) 521-1484

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.
