Bond & 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.

Roadside inspections Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

This company holds broker authority only; these inspections come from trucks operating under its USDOT number.

No roadside inspections in this period.

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 Quebec average covers 12,155 vehicle and 18,038 driver inspections of all Quebec-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 ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM CANADA ULC

Is ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM CANADA ULC a broker or a carrier?

ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM CANADA ULC is a freight broker with no active authority to haul freight itself. It may arrange loads with authorized carriers, but should not be dispatching its own trucks under this docket. Brokers must keep $75,000 of financial security (a BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust fund) on file with FMCSA.

What does ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM CANADA ULC's operating authority allow?

MC223601: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).

Which information about ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM CANADA ULC is old or missing?

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 The MCS-150 was last updated Nov 30, 2016, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM CANADA ULC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 370555. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (479) 785-6000, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC223601, and ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.

Other companies using (479) 785-6000

A shared number is common for related companies, dispatch services and family businesses. It is not proof of fraud, but it is worth knowing which company you are dealing with.
