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.

"Replaced" means a new filing took over the day the old one ended. "Cancelled" means the insurer or the company ended the policy; if no replacement was filed in time, the company was uninsured with FMCSA in between.

Source: Last known · FMCSA snapshot May 14, 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.

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 Connecticut average covers 8,554 vehicle and 13,626 driver inspections of all Connecticut-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 ↗

"Share" is this company's mix of violations; the Connecticut column is the mix across all Connecticut-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 JIM GROVER & COMPANY LLC

What does JIM GROVER & COMPANY LLC's operating authority allow?

MC564436: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).

Which information about JIM GROVER & COMPANY LLC 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. The MCS-150 was last updated Sep 12, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking JIM GROVER & COMPANY LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 653528. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (860) 642-7665, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC564436, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
