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 Illinois average covers 195,435 vehicle and 388,021 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

No violations recorded in roadside inspections in the last 24 months.

Crashes Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026

Questions about LIBERTY SCHOOL BUS COMPANY INC

What does LIBERTY SCHOOL BUS COMPANY INC's operating authority allow?

MC200028: Passenger carrier (may transport passengers for hire).

Which information about LIBERTY SCHOOL BUS COMPANY 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Feb 1, 2022, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking LIBERTY SCHOOL BUS COMPANY INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 540653. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (708) 349-1866, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC200028, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
