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 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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 Michigan average covers 51,399 vehicle and 85,567 driver inspections of all Michigan-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 Michigan column is the mix across all Michigan-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 INDIAN TRAILS LLC

What does INDIAN TRAILS LLC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for INDIAN TRAILS LLC (MC2661, FF2661), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about INDIAN TRAILS 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.

What should I verify before booking INDIAN TRAILS LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 71986. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (989) 725-5105, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC2661 or FF2661, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
