- Call back on the number on file, (901) 353-0815, not a number from an email or load board.

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.

| Liability (BI&PD) | MC354313 | Primary | New Hampshire Insurance Co. Policy 01-CA-060782641-0 · BMC-91X | $1,000,000 | Oct 12, 2024 | Active |

"Replaced" means a new filing took over the day the old one ended. "Cancelled" means the insurer or the company ended the policy; if no replacement was filed in time, the company was uninsured with FMCSA in between.

How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 Tennessee average covers 76,670 vehicle and 133,829 driver inspections of all Tennessee-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

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Tennessee column is the mix across all Tennessee-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 Holmes & Son Towing LLC
What does Holmes & Son Towing LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for Holmes & Son Towing LLC (MC354313), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about Holmes & Son Towing 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Aug 20, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking Holmes & Son Towing LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3308006. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (901) 353-0815, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC354313, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
