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.

  • Operating authority is not authorized (last known)Without active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
  • Phone number also used by an older company with inactive authorityTOMAHAWK TRUCKING LLC (USDOT 1215638), J-N-J TRUCKING LLC (USDOT 3051286), MOUNT TRANSPORT LLC (USDOT 1294511).

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 Ohio average covers 110,435 vehicle and 182,117 driver inspections of all Ohio-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

1 violation counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 1 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.

Why is this different from the 4 violations above?

The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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 Ohio column is the mix across all Ohio-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 B & T EXPRESS TRANSPORT LLC

What does B & T EXPRESS TRANSPORT LLC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for B & T EXPRESS TRANSPORT LLC (MC1758137), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about B & T EXPRESS TRANSPORT LLC is old or missing?

Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. 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 B & T EXPRESS TRANSPORT LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4458837. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (740) 886-6500, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1758137, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.

Other companies using (740) 886-6500

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.
