2. Safety Record & Inspected Equipment
24-month SAFER inspection rates, federal crash totals, and VIN-decoded trailer types
Over 90% of active U.S. motor carriers hold no formal FMCSA compliance review rating on file. UNRATED is an administrative status — evaluate 24-month roadside OOS rates and crash records instead.
| 24-Month Inspection Metric | OOS / Inspections | Carrier Rate | U.S. Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle OOS (Levels 1, 2, 5, 6) | 0 / 0 | N/A (0 inspections) | 22.3% |

Executive Public Baseline Summary
FMCSA registration filings designate ELS INC (USDOT 3275122 / MC-1034573) in Clarion, IA as a freight brokerage entity rather than an asset-operating motor carrier. Because broker-only authorities are not licensed to haul freight on their own commercial tractors, shippers tendered a truck under this registration should verify the actual underlying hauling motor carrier before releasing cargo.
Safety & capacity baseline: The carrier's federal safety rating is UNRATED (No Formal Compliance Audit); zero Level 1/2/5/6 vehicle inspections are on file for the 24-month window, and zero Level 1/2/3/6 driver inspections are on file for the 24-month window. FMCSA Crash File records show 0 reportable crashes over the trailing 24 months.
Additional public-baseline observations (3/7): federal L&I/Motus filings reflect $1,000,000 in primary BMC-91X auto liability coverage (shipment-specific Motor Truck Cargo coverage requires ACORD 25 COI review).
Observed Fleet Vehicles & Equipment Sample
Roadside-inspected commercial vehicles on file (VIN serial suffix masked publicly)
