How these rates are calculated

Period: Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 Connecticut average covers 8,546 vehicle and 13,610 driver inspections of all Connecticut-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

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Connecticut column is the mix across all Connecticut-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 Ground Up Transport LLC

What does Ground Up Transport LLC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for Ground Up Transport LLC (FF44470, MC1184378), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about Ground Up Transport 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. 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Aug 26, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking Ground Up Transport LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3544013. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (203) 623-4772, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches FF44470 or MC1184378, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
