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 Indiana average covers 61,530 vehicle and 111,152 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 ↗

Questions about C&K ROYAL DISTRIBUTION LLC

What does C&K ROYAL DISTRIBUTION LLC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for C&K ROYAL DISTRIBUTION LLC (MC1527669), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about C&K ROYAL DISTRIBUTION 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Oct 17, 2023, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking C&K ROYAL DISTRIBUTION LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4038608. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (574) 300-1064, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1527669, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
