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.
| Type | Docket | Layer | Insurer | Coverage | Effective | Status |

| Liability (BI&PD) | MC177049 Filed under another USDOT; not counted | — | THE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA Policy ISA771730 · 91 | — | Oct 31, 1989 | Active |
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.
Confirm current filings: Motus record ↗ and ask the insurer for a certificate naming you as holder.

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 Rhode Island average covers 3,486 vehicle and 6,899 driver inspections of all Rhode Island-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
9 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 4 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 19 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 19, 2024 – Oct 19, 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 Rhode Island column is the mix across all Rhode Island-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 ITW FOOD EQUIPMENT GROUP LLC
What does ITW FOOD EQUIPMENT GROUP LLC's operating authority allow?
FMCSA records show no active operating authority for ITW FOOD EQUIPMENT GROUP LLC (MC177049), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.
Which information about ITW FOOD EQUIPMENT GROUP LLC is old or missing?
MC177049, filed under another USDOT, is shown with its last known status from May 14, 2026. FMCSA has not issued a safety rating, which means no compliance review is on record, not that the carrier is unsafe. The MCS-150 was last updated Apr 29, 2024, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.
What should I verify before booking ITW FOOD EQUIPMENT GROUP LLC?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 828925. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (937) 332-2468, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches the docket on file, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
