- Call back on the number on file, (903) 253-5044, not a number from an email or load board.

- 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.

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 Texas average covers 347,521 vehicle and 460,200 driver inspections of all Texas-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 15 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.

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Texas column is the mix across all Texas-based carriers, so you can see which kinds of problems stand out.

Questions about BUTLER R & B TRUCKING LLC
What does BUTLER R & B TRUCKING LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for BUTLER R & B TRUCKING LLC (MC1609788), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about BUTLER R & B TRUCKING LLC is old or missing?
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 The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 19, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking BUTLER R & B TRUCKING LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4181089. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (903) 253-5044, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1609788, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as certificate holder.
