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.

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 CASTILLO HOT SHOT LLC
What does CASTILLO HOT SHOT LLC's operating authority allow?
MC29315: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).
Which information about CASTILLO HOT SHOT LLC 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Aug 10, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking CASTILLO HOT SHOT LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3011431. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (956) 237-3980, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC29315, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as certificate holder.
