GOLDEN VISTA HAULING INC
Do not book until these are resolved · 2 signals
How risk signals workAt 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.
- Operating authority is inactiveWithout active authority the company may not haul or broker interstate freight for hire.
- Operating authority granted 128 days agoThe USDOT number dates from Mar 17, 2026, the authority is new. Check that you are dealing with the registered company itself.
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, (661) 800-3450, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC1807420.
- 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liability (BI&PD) | MC1807420 | Primary | NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE COMPANY RISK RETENTION GROUP, LLC Policy MDX-26-314157-00 · BMC-91X | $750,000 | Oct 8, 2026 | Active |

"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.
Source: FMCSA Motus · Oct 20, 2026. Identical filings repeated in the FMCSA data are shown once; a filing listed under two dockets is one policy, not extra coverage. Coverage is the maximum amount filed with FMCSA, not the full policy.
Confirm current filings: Motus record ↗ and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.

| Date | State | Level | Violations | Out of service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 8, 2026 | CA | 2 | 3 | Yes |

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 California average covers 398,391 vehicle and 509,953 driver inspections of all California-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
10 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 4 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 24 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.

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the California column is the mix across all California-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 GOLDEN VISTA HAULING INC
What does GOLDEN VISTA HAULING INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for GOLDEN VISTA HAULING INC (MC1807420), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about GOLDEN VISTA HAULING INC is old or missing?
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 GOLDEN VISTA HAULING INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4551078. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (661) 800-3450, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1807420, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
