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. Cargo cover filed: amount not published.

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 Missouri average covers 51,987 vehicle and 91,607 driver inspections of all Missouri-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 ABILITY FORWARDERS INC
What does ABILITY FORWARDERS INC's operating authority allow?
FF1303: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).
Which information about ABILITY FORWARDERS 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. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Dec 12, 2023, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking ABILITY FORWARDERS INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 2971767. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (573) 335-3327, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches FF1303, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (573) 335-3327
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.
