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.
| Type | Docket | Layer | Insurer | Coverage | Effective | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liability (BI&PD) | MC82170 Filed under another USDOT; not counted | Primary | Northland Insurance Company Policy WN394105 · BMC-91X | $750,000 | Mar 21, 2025 | Active |
Source: FMCSA Motus · Oct 19, 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.

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 Illinois average covers 195,384 vehicle and 387,932 driver inspections of all Illinois-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

Questions about PETERSON TRUCKING INC
What does PETERSON TRUCKING INC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for PETERSON TRUCKING INC (MC82170), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about PETERSON TRUCKING 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Apr 30, 2002, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking PETERSON TRUCKING INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 498385. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (815) 879-0900, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches the docket on file, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
