How risk signals work

At 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. Authority and insurance are last known from May 14, 2026.

  • Phone number also used by an older company with inactive authorityLARRY NOBACH (USDOT 2150322), MEKONNEN T GEBRE LLC (USDOT 3664232). 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.

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 Washington average covers 48,815 vehicle and 83,315 driver inspections of all Washington-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 ↗

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Washington column is the mix across all Washington-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 TANKS EXPRESS LLC

What does TANKS EXPRESS LLC's operating authority allow?

MC1703812: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).

Which information about TANKS EXPRESS 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. 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 TANKS EXPRESS LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4355930. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (253) 520-3630, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1703812, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

Other companies using (253) 520-3630

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.
