- Registration (MCS-150) last updated 2 years agoCarriers must update it every two years, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA

Not a live check. FMCSA has not published a Motus record for this carrier, so authority and insurance show the last known status from May 14, 2026. Confirm on Motus ↗ before booking.

- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (774) 294-3408, not a number from an email or load board.

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 Massachusetts average covers 21,904 vehicle and 35,900 driver inspections of all Massachusetts-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 STEPHEN ROWAN
What does STEPHEN ROWAN's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for STEPHEN ROWAN (MC48978), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about STEPHEN ROWAN 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Oct 16, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking STEPHEN ROWAN?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3049320. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (774) 294-3408, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC48978, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
