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.

"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.

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 Pennsylvania average covers 99,719 vehicle and 169,230 driver inspections of all Pennsylvania-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 HAPPY EXPRESS LLC
What does HAPPY EXPRESS LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for HAPPY EXPRESS LLC (MC1058773), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about HAPPY EXPRESS 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Oct 16, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.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 HAPPY EXPRESS LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3325245. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (412) 290-8270, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1058773, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
