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.

Roadside inspections Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

No roadside inspections in this period.

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 Michigan average covers 51,411 vehicle and 85,596 driver inspections of all Michigan-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 FARMERS COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR COMPANY

What does FARMERS COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR COMPANY's operating authority allow?

MC5685: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).

Which information about FARMERS COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR COMPANY 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.

What should I verify before booking FARMERS COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR COMPANY?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 466979. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (616) 669-9596, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC5685, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
