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.
- Operating authority is inactiveWithout active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
- Phone number also used by an older company with inactive authorityMavic Transport LLC (USDOT 3946455). A new registration that shares contact details with an inactive company can be a legitimate successor, or a carrier re-registering under a new name.
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, (407) 432-9877, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1696337.
- 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 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 99,684 vehicle and 169,174 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
9 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 5 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 11 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 Castel Transport LLC
What does Castel Transport LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for Castel Transport LLC (MC1696337), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about Castel Transport LLC 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 Castel Transport LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4341403. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (407) 432-9877, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1696337, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
Other companies using (407) 432-9877
A shared number is common for related companies, dispatch services and family businesses. It is not proof of fraud, but it is worth knowing which company you are dealing with.
