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 Texas average covers 347,597 vehicle and 460,316 driver inspections of all Texas-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

Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months

1 violation counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 1 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Texas column is the mix across all Texas-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 John Gilford LLC

What does John Gilford LLC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for John Gilford LLC (MC1313906), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about John Gilford 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.

What should I verify before booking John Gilford LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3726689. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (843) 260-6854, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1313906, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
