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.
| Type | Docket | Layer | Insurer | Coverage | Effective | Status |

| Liability (BI&PD) | MC1609166 | Primary | UNITED FINANCIAL CASUALTY COMPANY Policy CA873300239 · 91X | $750,000 | Apr 27, 2026 | Cancelled Jun 10, 2026 |

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 Minnesota average covers 31,537 vehicle and 62,847 driver inspections of all Minnesota-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
26 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 6 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 30 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.

Questions about NOVA TRUCKLINE LLC
What does NOVA TRUCKLINE LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for NOVA TRUCKLINE LLC (MC1609166), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about NOVA TRUCKLINE 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. 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 NOVA TRUCKLINE LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4179969. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (612) 968-5135, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1609166, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
