- Liability insurance below the required minimum (last known)$1,500,000 on file; $5,000,000 required.
- Registration (MCS-150) last updated 2 years agoCarriers must update it every two years, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA
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.
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, (847) 226-3462, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1257274.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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 Illinois average covers 195,261 vehicle and 387,726 driver inspections of all Illinois-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 WINDY CHARTER INC
What does WINDY CHARTER INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for WINDY CHARTER INC (MC1257274), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about WINDY CHARTER 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. 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 Oct 12, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking WINDY CHARTER INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3649348. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (847) 226-3462, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1257274, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
