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 Mississippi average covers 20,774 vehicle and 37,370 driver inspections of all Mississippi-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
3 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 1 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 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.

Source: FMCSA SMS violation file, inspections in the last 24 months, published Oct 19, 2026. "Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Mississippi column is the mix across all Mississippi-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 SMYTHE & SONS TRUCKING LLC
What does SMYTHE & SONS TRUCKING LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for SMYTHE & SONS TRUCKING LLC (MC873946), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about SMYTHE & SONS TRUCKING LLC 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Dec 13, 2022, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking SMYTHE & SONS TRUCKING LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2518120. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (662) 820-7492, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC873946, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
