What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record: our copy is unchanged since May 14, 2026. Safety record: SAFER.
- Call back on the number on file, (301) 864-0954, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC22194.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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.

Stable since May 14, 2026. FMCSA has recorded no insurance change for this carrier since May 14, 2026, so the filings above still hold. Confirm current filings: Motus record and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.

How these rates are calculated
Period: Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 Maryland average covers 42,334 vehicle and 51,684 driver inspections of all Maryland-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
11 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 1 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 12 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 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 Maryland column is the mix across all Maryland-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 Mcdonald Auto Body Works Inc
What does Mcdonald Auto Body Works Inc's operating authority allow?
MC22194: Common carrier (may haul regulated property for hire for the general public).
Which information about Mcdonald Auto Body Works Inc is old or missing?
Operating authority has been stable since FMCSA's May 14, 2026 records, with no change recorded since. It is not a live check, so confirm on Motus before booking. Insurance filings have been unchanged since 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 Mcdonald Auto Body Works Inc?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 573112. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (301) 864-0954, not a number from an email or load board message.
