How risk signals workFacts from the FMCSA record that call for a closer look. They are not a finding of wrongdoing.
- MC168617 is also listed on another company recordDEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES INC (USDOT 506509, added Dec 9, 1992). FMCSA files its authority and insurance under USDOT 506509, so this report does not count them as this company's. Compare the records →
MC168617: filed under USDOT 506509, not this record
No cargo cover filed with FMCSA
Green means the FMCSA record shows it. It does not confirm who you are talking to, or that a policy covers your specific load.
What to verify next
- Confirm authority and insurance on the official Motus record ↗. Safety record: SAFER ↗.
- Call back on the number on file, (415) 297-3797, not a number from an email or load board.
- Check that the MC number you were given is MC479661, and that you are dealing with this company record (see the risk summary above).
- MC168617 is listed on this record but filed under USDOT 506509. If you were given that number, check that company instead.
- Ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
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 California average covers 398,428 vehicle and 509,934 driver inspections of all California-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
3 violations counted in FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS), 0 of them serious enough to put the driver or vehicle out of service.
Why is this different from the 4 violations above?
The inspections section's number counts every violation written on the inspection reports in our Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 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 California column is the mix across all California-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 JUAN CORTES
What does JUAN CORTES's operating authority allow?
MC479661: Motor carrier (may haul regulated property for hire).
Which information about JUAN CORTES is old or missing?
MC168617, filed under another USDOT, is shown with its last known status from May 14, 2026. 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 JUAN CORTES?
Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 986875. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (415) 297-3797, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC479661, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
