Roadside inspections Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026
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 Indiana average covers 61,554 vehicle and 111,190 driver inspections of all Indiana-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
No violations recorded in roadside inspections in the last 24 months.
Crashes Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

Questions about FIRST CHOICE HOTSHOTS & DRIVEAWAY INC
What does FIRST CHOICE HOTSHOTS & DRIVEAWAY INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for FIRST CHOICE HOTSHOTS & DRIVEAWAY INC (MC1406778), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about FIRST CHOICE HOTSHOTS & DRIVEAWAY INC is old or missing?
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 The MCS-150 was last updated Jun 21, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking FIRST CHOICE HOTSHOTS & DRIVEAWAY INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3855568. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (269) 483-2459, not a number from an email or load board message.
