Roadside inspections Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026
No roadside inspections in this period.
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 Indiana average covers 61,530 vehicle and 111,152 driver inspections of all Indiana-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

Crashes Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026

Questions about HOOTEN CONTRACT SERVICES INC
What does HOOTEN CONTRACT SERVICES INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for HOOTEN CONTRACT SERVICES INC (MC1821701), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about HOOTEN CONTRACT SERVICES INC is old or missing?
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 HOOTEN CONTRACT SERVICES INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 4577606. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (574) 721-3226, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1821701, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
