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 Louisiana average covers 14,001 vehicle and 19,605 driver inspections of all Louisiana-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 ALEX MCFADDEN III

What does ALEX MCFADDEN III's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for ALEX MCFADDEN III (MC1396), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about ALEX MCFADDEN III is old or missing?

MC1396, filed under another USDOT, is shown with its last known status from May 14, 2026. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Dec 13, 2019, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking ALEX MCFADDEN III?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2955080. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (225) 405-2298, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches the docket on file, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
