Roadside inspections Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
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 New Jersey average covers 63,079 vehicle and 95,991 driver inspections of all New Jersey-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 ↗
Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months
No violations recorded in roadside inspections in the last 24 months.
Crashes Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

Questions about A BETTER CAR SERVICE INC
What does A BETTER CAR SERVICE INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for A BETTER CAR SERVICE INC (MC124114), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about A BETTER CAR SERVICE 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 A BETTER CAR SERVICE INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3178301. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (201) 560-3566, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC124114, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
