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. Cargo cover filed: amount not published.

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 Oregon average covers 22,262 vehicle and 33,181 driver inspections of all Oregon-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 ↗

Questions about U S METAL WORKS INC
What does U S METAL WORKS INC's operating authority allow?
MC229945: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public); Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).
Which information about U S METAL WORKS INC 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Aug 9, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking U S METAL WORKS INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 439940. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (503) 668-8036, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC229945, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
