Is this carrier bookable?

Review First

Nothing here says automatic no, but there is enough to check before you tender a load.

Six things go into this read of Ellen Smithson's record: operating authority, out-of-service status, insurance filings, safety rating, BASIC percentile scores, and MCS-150 freshness. Every one of them comes straight from the public FMCSA record. None of them tell you how the carrier handles damage claims or hits delivery windows, so always pull a fresh insurance certificate from the carrier and confirm rates and contact details on a current rate confirmation before you tender.

Fleet profile

Owner-operator / very small (under 10 units)

Raw fleet counts only tell you so much about a carrier. A 100-truck fleet with 300 drivers is almost certainly running team or multi-shift over-the-road operations. A 100-truck fleet with 90 drivers is more likely owner-operators, regional, or local work. The ratios below are calculated from FMCSA fleet, mileage, and inspection data and show you how Ellen Smithson actually runs day to day. That helps you judge whether their capacity, utilization, and safety performance match the kind of load you're looking to tender.

Drivers per Power Unit

1.00

Roughly one driver per truck. Typical for regional or local fleets.

Miles per Power Unit

75,000 mi

Moderate utilization typical of regional or LTL operations (2007 data).

Crashes per 1,000 Units

1000.0

Significantly above industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the USDOT number for Ellen Smithson?

Ellen Smithson is assigned USDOT number 1742805 by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This number uniquely identifies the carrier in federal safety records and is used to track inspections, crashes, compliance reviews, and operating authority over time.

Is Ellen Smithson authorized to operate?

Ellen Smithson's current operating status is ACTIVE. They do not currently have a formal safety rating from FMCSA. Always verify operating authority and request a current insurance certificate before tendering loads.

How many crashes has Ellen Smithson been involved in?

FMCSA records 1 reported crashes for Ellen Smithson over a rolling 24-month window, including 0 fatal, 0 injury, and 1 tow-away crashes. Crash counts include both preventable and non-preventable events. Always evaluate raw counts against fleet size and miles driven.

How large is Ellen Smithson's fleet?

Ellen Smithson operates 1 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 1 drivers on their FMCSA MCS-150 form. Fleet figures are self-reported and updated biennially, so the live operational fleet may differ slightly.

Where is Ellen Smithson located?

Ellen Smithson is headquartered in Snohomish, Washington at 14523 Brookside Place. They operate as intrastate non-hazmat.

What does "Not Rated" mean?

"Not Rated" means FMCSA has not conducted a formal compliance review for this carrier. It does not indicate a safety problem on its own. The vast majority of registered carriers operate without a formal rating because compliance reviews are typically only triggered by elevated risk indicators, complaints, or scheduled audits. Use BASIC scores, inspection history, and crash records to evaluate unrated carriers.

How often is FMCSA data updated?

FMCSA refreshes carrier census data daily. Inspection and crash records are typically published within 30 days of the underlying event. Safety ratings and BASIC scores update on FMCSA's monthly cycle. The "last checked" timestamp at the bottom of this page shows when the most recent FMCSA poll happened.

Should I monitor Ellen Smithson for changes?

If you tender loads to Ellen Smithson regularly, monitoring is worth considering. Operating authority can lapse, insurance can drop, and safety ratings can change between bookings. Email alerts surface those changes the moment FMCSA publishes them, so you find out before your next load instead of after a problem on the road.

Where does this data come from?

All data on this page is sourced from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) via the DOT Open Data Portal. It includes the Company Census File, roadside inspection records, crash reports, and SMS/BASIC safety scores. Data is self-reported by carriers and updated regularly by FMCSA. For the authoritative single-source-of-truth record, cross-reference with FMCSA SAFER.
