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 Georgia average covers 65,409 vehicle and 121,643 driver inspections of all Georgia-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 AMERICUS BARGAINS & TREASURES

What does AMERICUS BARGAINS & TREASURES's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for AMERICUS BARGAINS & TREASURES (MC968505), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about AMERICUS BARGAINS & TREASURES 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Apr 20, 2021, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking AMERICUS BARGAINS & TREASURES?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2884662. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (229) 942-0218, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC968505, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
