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 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 Kentucky average covers 21,728 vehicle and 37,986 driver inspections of all Kentucky-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 DTS EXCAVATING INC

What does DTS EXCAVATING INC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for DTS EXCAVATING INC (MC887817), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about DTS EXCAVATING 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. 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 DTS EXCAVATING INC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 940112. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (606) 836-6224, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC887817, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
