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 Washington average covers 48,815 vehicle and 83,315 driver inspections of all Washington-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 SUN WAY TRANS LLC

What does SUN WAY TRANS LLC's operating authority allow?

MC1428171: Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire).

Which information about SUN WAY TRANS LLC is old or missing?

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 SUN WAY TRANS LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3887503. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (206) 393-2119, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1428171, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
