Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.

Not a live check. FMCSA has not published a Motus record for this carrier, so authority and insurance show the last known status from May 14, 2026. Confirm on Motus ↗ before booking.

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 Tennessee average covers 76,674 vehicle and 133,842 driver inspections of all Tennessee-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 CHOSEN TOWING & RECOVERY INC

What does CHOSEN TOWING & RECOVERY INC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for CHOSEN TOWING & RECOVERY INC (MC1566507, MC1468260, FF56475), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about CHOSEN TOWING & RECOVERY INC 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. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Jul 12, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking CHOSEN TOWING & RECOVERY INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 3947851. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (615) 630-8566, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1566507 or MC1468260 or FF56475, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
