Do not book until these are resolved · 3 signals
How risk signals workAt least one fact in the FMCSA record should stop a booking until it is cleared up. Confirm the current record on Motus first; it is not a finding of wrongdoing. Authority and insurance are last known from May 14, 2026.

- MC847181 is also listed on another company recordBOOST EXPRESS VAN LINES INC (USDOT 2453637, added Nov 13, 2013). FMCSA files its authority and insurance under USDOT 2453637, so this report does not count them as this company's. Compare the records →

MC847181: filed under USDOT 2453637, not this record
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.
What to verify next
- 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, (201) 968-8454, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1022259, and that you are dealing with this company record (see the risk summary above).
- MC847181 is listed on this record but filed under USDOT 2453637. If you were given that number, check that company instead.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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 New Jersey average covers 63,084 vehicle and 96,072 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
20 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 5 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 26 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026 window. The SMS count comes from FMCSA's own monthly SMS snapshot, which uses its own 24-month window and only the violations it scores. Both are FMCSA figures; they measure different things.

Questions about ARENA VAN LINES INC
What does ARENA VAN LINES INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for ARENA VAN LINES INC (MC1022259, MC847181), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about ARENA VAN LINES INC is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate. The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 13, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking ARENA VAN LINES INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3249356. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (201) 968-8454, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1022259, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (201) 968-8454
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.
