Bond & 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: FMCSA Motus · Oct 19, 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 Tennessee average covers 76,695 vehicle and 133,874 driver inspections of all Tennessee-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

14,692 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 3,524 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.

Why is this different from the 20,611 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 Tennessee column is the mix across all Tennessee-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 FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION

Is FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION a broker or a carrier?

FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION is a freight forwarder with no active authority to haul freight itself. It may arrange loads with authorized carriers, but should not be dispatching its own trucks under this docket. Brokers must keep $75,000 of financial security (a BMC-84 bond or BMC-85 trust fund) on file with FMCSA.

What does FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION's operating authority allow?

FF13835: Freight forwarder (may assemble and consolidate shipments and arrange their transportation, taking responsibility for them). FF13835: Freight forwarder (may assemble and consolidate shipments and arrange their transportation, taking responsibility for them).

Which information about FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION is old or missing?

Nothing notable: authority and insurance come from current Motus data and there is enough inspection history to compare.

What should I verify before booking FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 86876. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (412) 747-8482, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches FF13835 or FF13835, and ask for proof of the broker bond or trust fund (BMC-84/85) of $75,000.

Other companies using (412) 747-8482

A shared number is common for related companies, dispatch services and family businesses. It is not proof of fraud, but it is worth knowing which company you are dealing with.
