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.

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.

Confirm current filings: Motus record ↗ and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.

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 North Dakota average covers 8,356 vehicle and 15,697 driver inspections of all North Dakota-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.

Questions about DOUG PALMER TRUCKING LLC

What does DOUG PALMER TRUCKING LLC's operating authority allow?

MC282181: Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire).

Which information about DOUG PALMER TRUCKING LLC is old or missing?

MC473143, filed under another USDOT, is shown with its last known status from May 14, 2026. 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.

What should I verify before booking DOUG PALMER TRUCKING LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 561281. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (701) 269-9896, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC282181, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
