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 Maryland average covers 42,361 vehicle and 51,705 driver inspections of all Maryland-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 PETERSENS HOUSE OF CARPETS INC

What does PETERSENS HOUSE OF CARPETS INC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for PETERSENS HOUSE OF CARPETS INC (FF17542), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about PETERSENS HOUSE OF CARPETS INC 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.

What should I verify before booking PETERSENS HOUSE OF CARPETS INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2952755. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (301) 698-4789, not a number from an email or load board message.
