What to verify next

- Call back on the number on file, (516) 349-8200, not a number from an email or load board.

- 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.
| Type | Docket | Layer | Insurer | Coverage | Effective | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liability (BI&PD) | MC877804 | Primary | Old Republic Insurance Company Policy MWTB 316653 · BMC-91X | $5,000,000 | Dec 15, 2021 | Active |
Source: FMCSA Motus · Oct 18, 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.

Roadside inspections Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
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 New York average covers 36,516 vehicle and 57,893 driver inspections of all New York-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.

Questions about TOWNE BUS LLC
What does TOWNE BUS LLC's operating authority allow?
MC877804: Passenger carrier (may transport passengers for hire).
Which information about TOWNE BUS LLC 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. The MCS-150 was last updated May 26, 2023, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking TOWNE BUS LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2526995. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (516) 349-8200, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC877804, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (516) 349-8200
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.
