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 North Carolina average covers 60,410 vehicle and 117,678 driver inspections of all North Carolina-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

6 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 3 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.

Why is this different from the 11 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.

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the North Carolina column is the mix across all North Carolina-based carriers, so you can see which kinds of problems stand out. A high count partly reflects fleet size and how often trucks are inspected.

Questions about CARTER'S CHARTERS LLC

What does CARTER'S CHARTERS LLC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for CARTER'S CHARTERS LLC (MC1045364), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about CARTER'S CHARTERS LLC is old or missing?

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.

What should I verify before booking CARTER'S CHARTERS LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3297638. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (347) 256-7916, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1045364, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
