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 Pennsylvania average covers 99,838 vehicle and 169,435 driver inspections of all Pennsylvania-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 ↗

Questions about ARA SERVICES INC
What does ARA SERVICES INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for ARA SERVICES INC (MC981519), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about ARA SERVICES INC is old or missing?
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.
What should I verify before booking ARA SERVICES INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2636527. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (267) 334-8622, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC981519, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (267) 334-8622
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.
