Do not book until these are resolved · 2 signals
How risk signals workAt least one fact in the FMCSA record should stop a booking until it is cleared up. Confirm the current record on Motus first; it is not a finding of wrongdoing. Authority and insurance are last known from May 14, 2026.
- Operating authority is inactive (last known)Without active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
- Liability insurance lapsed in the last 12 monthsGEICO MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY policy cancelled Nov 23, 2025; the next filing took effect May 1, 2026, 159 days later. During a lapse the company had no liability insurance on file with FMCSA; ask for a current certificate of insurance.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA
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.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗: our copy is the last known status from May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (215) 941-4261, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1575909.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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.

"Replaced" means a new filing took over the day the old one ended. "Cancelled" means the insurer or the company ended the policy; if no replacement was filed in time, the company was uninsured with FMCSA in between.
Source: Last known · FMCSA snapshot May 14, 2026. Identical filings repeated in the FMCSA data are shown once; a filing listed under two dockets is one policy, not extra coverage. Coverage is the maximum amount filed with FMCSA, not the full policy.

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 Pennsylvania average covers 99,719 vehicle and 169,230 driver inspections of all Pennsylvania-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
4 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 0 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 9 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.

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Pennsylvania column is the mix across all Pennsylvania-based carriers, so you can see which kinds of problems stand out. A high count partly reflects fleet size and how often trucks are inspected.

Questions about OTERO FAMILY TRANSPORT LLC
What does OTERO FAMILY TRANSPORT LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for OTERO FAMILY TRANSPORT LLC (MC1575909), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about OTERO FAMILY TRANSPORT LLC is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. Insurance filings are from the same May 14, 2026 snapshot. 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 OTERO FAMILY TRANSPORT LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4120648. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (215) 941-4261, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1575909, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
