Bond & 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 Jersey average covers 63,029 vehicle and 95,938 driver inspections of all New Jersey-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 DEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC
Is DEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC a broker or a carrier?
DEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC is a freight broker with no active authority to haul freight itself. It may arrange loads with authorized carriers, but should not be dispatching its own trucks under this docket. Brokers must keep $75,000 of financial security (a BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust fund) on file with FMCSA.
What does DEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC's operating authority allow?
MC168617: Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).
Which information about DEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC 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. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 4, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking DEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 506509. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (609) 665-1700, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC168617, and ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.
