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 Texas average covers 347,521 vehicle and 460,200 driver inspections of all Texas-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 OSVALDO CHAVEZ

What does OSVALDO CHAVEZ's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for OSVALDO CHAVEZ (MC1459229), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about OSVALDO CHAVEZ is old or missing?

No insurance filings were found in the public data. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 12, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking OSVALDO CHAVEZ?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2939388. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (832) 374-2946, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1459229, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
