- Call back on the number on file, (888) 459-6039, not a number from an email or load board.

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. Cargo cover filed: amount not published.

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 New Jersey average covers 63,084 vehicle and 96,072 driver inspections of all New Jersey-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
17 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 8 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 22 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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.

Questions about RELIABLE VAN LINES INC
What does RELIABLE VAN LINES INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for RELIABLE VAN LINES INC (MC1585144, MC1228070), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about RELIABLE VAN LINES INC 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. 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 RELIABLE VAN LINES INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4136656. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (888) 459-6039, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1585144 or MC1228070, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
