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 Illinois average covers 195,435 vehicle and 388,021 driver inspections of all Illinois-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 ↗

Questions about HARLEY L MENSCHING

What does HARLEY L MENSCHING's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for HARLEY L MENSCHING (MC215466), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about HARLEY L MENSCHING 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 HARLEY L MENSCHING?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 883361. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (815) 444-8737, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC215466, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
