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 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 New York average covers 36,520 vehicle and 57,868 driver inspections of all New York-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 New York column is the mix across all New York-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 TRANSPORTATION MARKETING SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC

Is TRANSPORTATION MARKETING SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC a broker or a carrier?

Both. TRANSPORTATION MARKETING SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC holds active broker authority and active authority to haul freight. Check which role it is acting in on your load: as a broker it arranges another carrier; as a carrier it hauls with its own trucks.

What does TRANSPORTATION MARKETING SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC's operating authority allow?

MC247088: Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire). MC186517: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).

Which information about TRANSPORTATION MARKETING SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC is old or missing?

There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate.

What should I verify before booking TRANSPORTATION MARKETING SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 451906. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (716) 895-8674, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC247088 or MC186517, and ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.

Other companies using (716) 895-8674

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.
