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 Iowa average covers 31,594 vehicle and 64,957 driver inspections of all Iowa-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 ↗

A high count partly reflects fleet size and how often trucks are inspected.

Questions about GENE A SCHWARTZ
What does GENE A SCHWARTZ's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for GENE A SCHWARTZ (MC1815387), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about GENE A SCHWARTZ is old or missing?
Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. No insurance filings were found in the public data. 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 GENE A SCHWARTZ?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 734242. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (319) 560-1773, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC1815387, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
