What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (612) 722-5575, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1642635 or MC1348415.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.
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 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 Minnesota average covers 31,537 vehicle and 62,847 driver inspections of all Minnesota-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 ↗

Is METRO PRODUCE DISTRIBUTORS INC a broker or a carrier?
Both. METRO PRODUCE DISTRIBUTORS INC holds active broker authority and active authority to haul freight. Check which role it is acting in on your load: as a broker it arranges another carrier; as a carrier it hauls with its own trucks.
What does METRO PRODUCE DISTRIBUTORS INC's operating authority allow?
MC1642635: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public); Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).
Which information about METRO PRODUCE DISTRIBUTORS INC 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 The MCS-150 was last updated May 10, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking METRO PRODUCE DISTRIBUTORS INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 347868. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (612) 722-5575, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1642635 or MC1348415, and ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.
