Review before booking · 2 signals
How risk signals workFacts from the FMCSA record that call for a closer look. They are not a finding of wrongdoing.
- Liability insurance lapsed in the last 12 monthsAccredited Specialty Insurance Company policy cancelled May 15, 2026; the next filing took effect Jun 6, 2026, 22 days later. During a lapse the company had no liability insurance on file with FMCSA; ask for a current certificate of insurance.
- Vehicle out-of-service rate well above the state average42.9% vs Texas average 25.1%.
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA
Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record. Safety record: SAFER.
- Call back on the number on file, (713) 385-6596, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1726295.
- 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.

"Replaced" means a new filing took over the day the old one ended. "Cancelled" means the insurer or the company ended the policy; if no replacement was filed in time, the company was uninsured with FMCSA in between.

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 Texas average covers 347,597 vehicle and 460,316 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
25 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 8 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 40 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.
