Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.

Not a live check. FMCSA has not published a Motus record for this carrier, so authority and insurance show the last known status from May 14, 2026. Confirm on Motus ↗ before booking.

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 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

Questions about JEFF'S TOWING & RECOVERY INC

What does JEFF'S TOWING & RECOVERY INC's operating authority allow?

MC410246: Contract carrier (may haul regulated property for hire under continuing contracts with specific shippers).

Which information about JEFF'S TOWING & RECOVERY INC 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. 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 The MCS-150 was last updated Dec 26, 2023, so fleet size and contact details may be out of date.

What should I verify before booking JEFF'S TOWING & RECOVERY INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 869466. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (931) 668-9236, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC410246, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
