Is this carrier bookable?

Bookable

Nothing here stands out as an immediate reason not to use this carrier.

Six things go into this read of Coomes Inc'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.

Authority history

Every operating-authority action FMCSA has recorded against Coomes Inc, sourced from the AuthHist public dataset. This covers original applications, dismissals, grants, suspensions, and reinstatements across every authority type the carrier has held or attempted to hold. A clean history typically shows one or two grant rows and nothing else. Multiple dismissals or revocations are worth a closer look before booking.

Safety

Everything FMCSA has on Coomes Inc's safety record: the formal safety rating, behavior-analysis BASIC scores, full inspection and crash totals, and operational metrics like drivers per power unit and annual miles per power unit. Numbers below the national average sit in the green; numbers well above are worth a closer look.

FMCSA Safety Rating

Satisfactory

Rated Aug 30, 2012

A Satisfactory rating is the highest rating issued by FMCSA following a compliance review. It means the carrier has demonstrated adequate safety management controls to meet the safety fitness standard. Approximately 1-2% of all registered carriers hold a formal safety rating.

84 crashes reported. Review fatal and injury counts carefully alongside fleet size before engaging this carrier. That translates to approximately 2709.7 crashes per 1,000 power units.

BASIC safety scores

FMCSA grades every carrier across seven safety categories called BASICs (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories). Each score is a percentile from 0 to 100, calculated from the carrier's roadside inspections, crash reports, and investigation results over a rolling 24-month window. Higher scores mean more recorded violations relative to similar carriers. Scores at or above 75 can flag a carrier for FMCSA intervention and are worth a closer look before tendering. Scores below 65 sit within normal range.

Fleet profile

Small fleet (10–99 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 Coomes Inc 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

95,204 mi

Moderate utilization typical of regional or LTL operations (2025 data).

Inspections per Power Unit

2.0

Normal inspection activity for an over-the-road carrier.

Crashes per 1,000 Units

2709.7

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

Insurance

A current ON FILE status is the baseline; the history below is where you spot recent cancellations, instability, or coverage gaps that the live status field can't show on its own.

Current insurance status

ON FILE (BIPD)

BIPD means bodily injury and property damage liability.

Insurance history

Every insurance filing FMCSA has on record for Coomes Inc, up to the 25 most recent including cancelled policies. Each row shows the form type, the insurance company, when the policy went into effect, and when (or if) it was cancelled. Common things brokers look for: a recent cancellation with no replacement on file (the carrier may not have valid coverage right now), repeated short-lived policies with different insurers (instability), and the actual coverage amount versus the freight value.

Process agents (BOC-3)

Every state where Coomes Inc has filed a designated agent to receive legal process on its behalf. FMCSA requires a complete BOC-3 filing covering all 50 states (plus DC) before granting interstate operating authority. A carrier listed for fewer than 51 jurisdictions either operates intrastate only, has not yet completed its BOC-3 filing, or has had a state agent terminate without replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions brokers and shippers ask about Coomes Inc and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.

What is the USDOT number for Coomes Inc?

Coomes Inc is assigned USDOT number 251441 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.

What is the MC number for Coomes Inc?

Coomes Inc's MC number is 178585. The MC (Motor Carrier) number is the operating authority number issued by FMCSA, separate from the USDOT number. It authorizes the carrier to transport regulated commodities for hire in interstate commerce.

Is Coomes Inc authorized to operate?

Coomes Inc's current operating status is ACTIVE. They hold a SATISFACTORY safety rating from FMCSA. Always verify operating authority and request a current insurance certificate before tendering loads.

How many inspections has Coomes Inc had?

Coomes Inc has 62 recorded roadside inspections in FMCSA's database, with 7 resulting in an out-of-service order, for an overall OOS rate of 11.3%. Inspection counts cover a rolling 24-month window.

What is a normal OOS rate?

The national average vehicle out-of-service rate is approximately 21%. The driver OOS average is closer to 5.5%. Rates well above these benchmarks may indicate recurring compliance issues. Lower rates suggest stronger maintenance and driver-qualification programs.

How many crashes has Coomes Inc been involved in?

FMCSA records 84 reported crashes for Coomes Inc over a rolling 24-month window, including 4 fatal, 33 injury, and 77 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 Coomes Inc's fleet?

Coomes Inc operates 31 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 31 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 Coomes Inc located?

Coomes Inc is headquartered in Phillipsburg, Kansas at 1697 East 250 Lane. They operate in interstate commerce across state lines.

What does a satisfactory safety rating mean?

A Satisfactory rating is the highest rating issued by FMCSA following a compliance review. It means Coomes Inc demonstrated adequate safety management controls during the review. Only about 1-2% of all registered carriers hold a formal safety rating, since FMCSA only rates carriers that go through a compliance review.

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 Coomes Inc for changes?

If you tender loads to Coomes Inc 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.

Data is self-reported by carriers and updated daily by FMCSA. Inspection and crash data covers a rolling 24-month window. BASIC scores are recalculated monthly.
