- Operating authority is inactiveWithout active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (317) 341-1232, 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.

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 Indiana average covers 61,543 vehicle and 111,154 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 ↗
Violations in FMCSA's SMS last 24 months
7 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 2 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 12 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 Indiana column is the mix across all Indiana-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 CENTRAL XPRESS INC
What does CENTRAL XPRESS INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for CENTRAL XPRESS INC (MC1655916), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about CENTRAL XPRESS INC is old or missing?
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.
What should I verify before booking CENTRAL XPRESS INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4265846. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (317) 341-1232, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1655916, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
