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 CI average covers 77,269 vehicle and 94,874 driver inspections of all CI-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 BERNHARD GIESBRECHT BLATZ

What does BERNHARD GIESBRECHT BLATZ's operating authority allow?

MX1121488: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).

Which information about BERNHARD GIESBRECHT BLATZ 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. 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.

What should I verify before booking BERNHARD GIESBRECHT BLATZ?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3421847. Call the company back on the phone number on file, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MX1121488, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
