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 Maryland average covers 42,343 vehicle and 51,693 driver inspections of all Maryland-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
56 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 17 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 82 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 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 Maryland column is the mix across all Maryland-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 JOHN 316 TRANSPORTS LLC
What does JOHN 316 TRANSPORTS LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for JOHN 316 TRANSPORTS LLC (MC1066187), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about JOHN 316 TRANSPORTS LLC 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. 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 JOHN 316 TRANSPORTS LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3340642. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (321) 318-3652, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1066187, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
