What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (630) 595-4600, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is FF5044, and that you are dealing with this company record (see the risk summary above).
- MC308894 is listed on this record but filed under USDOT 2923651. If you were given that number, check that company instead.
- 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.

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 Illinois average covers 195,261 vehicle and 387,726 driver inspections of all Illinois-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.
Crashes Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026
No reportable crashes in this period.

Questions about MCS CARGO SYSTEMS INC
What does MCS CARGO SYSTEMS INC's operating authority allow?
FF5044: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).
Which information about MCS CARGO SYSTEMS INC is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate.
What should I verify before booking MCS CARGO SYSTEMS INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 289918. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (630) 595-4600, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches FF5044, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (630) 595-4600
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.
