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 Nebraska average covers 22,416 vehicle and 49,344 driver inspections of all Nebraska-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 THEATRICAL MEDIA SERVICES INC
What does THEATRICAL MEDIA SERVICES INC's operating authority allow?

What should I verify before booking THEATRICAL MEDIA SERVICES INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 273063. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (402) 592-5522, not a number from an email or load board message.
