- Vehicle out-of-service rate well above the state average40.0% vs New Jersey average 22.1%.
- Registration (MCS-150) last updated 2 years agoCarriers must update it every two years, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA

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 Jersey average covers 63,084 vehicle and 96,072 driver inspections of all New Jersey-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
82 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 23 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 137 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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.

Questions about D RUBIO'S EXPRESS LLC
What does D RUBIO'S EXPRESS LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for D RUBIO'S EXPRESS LLC (MC942171), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

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 The MCS-150 was last updated Oct 12, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2823957. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (973) 901-9137, not a number from an email or load board message.
