How risk signals workFacts from the FMCSA record that call for a closer look. They are not a finding of wrongdoing.
- MC704548 is also listed on another company recordPTI LOGISTICS LLC (USDOT 2246106, added Nov 19, 2011). FMCSA files its authority and insurance under USDOT 2246106, so this report does not count them as this company's. Compare the records →
MC704548: filed under USDOT 2246106, not this record
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.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (800) 317-3650, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC227188, and that you are dealing with this company record (see the risk summary above).
- MC704548 is listed on this record but filed under USDOT 2246106. If you were given that number, check that company instead.
- 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 Wisconsin average covers 42,218 vehicle and 76,980 driver inspections of all Wisconsin-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
413 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 85 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 617 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026 window. The SMS count comes from FMCSA's own monthly SMS snapshot, which uses its own 24-month window and only the violations it scores. Both are FMCSA figures; they measure different things.
