Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.

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.

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 South Carolina average covers 18,709 vehicle and 40,848 driver inspections of all South 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 ↗

Questions about MATTHEWS CONSTRUCTION CO.

What does MATTHEWS CONSTRUCTION CO.'s operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for MATTHEWS CONSTRUCTION CO. (MC679112), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about MATTHEWS CONSTRUCTION CO. 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.

What should I verify before booking MATTHEWS CONSTRUCTION CO.?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 340451. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (803) 366-4159, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC679112, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
