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 Arizona average covers 53,982 vehicle and 81,935 driver inspections of all Arizona-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

10,530 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 3,072 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.

Why is this different from the 14,723 violations above?

The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 2026 window. The SMS count comes from FMCSA's own monthly SMS snapshot, which uses its own 24-month window and only the violations it scores. Both are FMCSA figures; they measure different things.

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Arizona column is the mix across all Arizona-based carriers, so you can see which kinds of problems stand out. A high count partly reflects fleet size and how often trucks are inspected.

Questions about SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY OF ARIZONA LLC

Is SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY OF ARIZONA LLC a broker or a carrier?

Both. SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY OF ARIZONA LLC holds active broker authority and active authority to haul freight. Check which role it is acting in on your load: as a broker it arranges another carrier; as a carrier it hauls with its own trucks.

What does SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY OF ARIZONA LLC's operating authority allow?

MC136818: Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire); Broker (may arrange transportation by other authorized carriers, but may not haul the freight itself under this authority).

Which information about SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY OF ARIZONA LLC is old or missing?

Nothing notable: authority and insurance come from current Motus data and there is enough inspection history to compare.

What should I verify before booking SWIFT TRANSPORTATION COMPANY OF ARIZONA LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 54283. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (800) 800-2200, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC136818, and ask for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load; if it brokers your load, ask for proof of its BMC-84/85 bond or trust instead.
