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 20, 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.

Roadside inspections Oct 20, 2024 – Oct 20, 2026

No roadside inspections in this period.

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 Montana average covers 4,995 vehicle and 8,423 driver inspections of all Montana-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

Questions about Walking Shadow Ecology Tours of Yellowstone LLC

What does Walking Shadow Ecology Tours of Yellowstone LLC's operating authority allow?

MC67065069: Passenger carrier (may transport passengers for hire).

Which information about Walking Shadow Ecology Tours of Yellowstone LLC 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.

What should I verify before booking Walking Shadow Ecology Tours of Yellowstone LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 7046604. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (406) 223-5967, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC67065069, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
