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 Communications Electronics 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.

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

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 Communications Electronics 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

4.00

High driver-to-truck ratio suggests team driving or multi-shift operations.

Miles per Power Unit

11,250 mi

Lower utilization often seen with local, dedicated, or specialty operations (2024 data).

Inspections per Power Unit

1.0

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

Crashes per 1,000 Units

0.0

Below industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the USDOT number for Communications Electronics Inc?

Communications Electronics Inc is assigned USDOT number 2554052 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 Communications Electronics Inc authorized to operate?

Communications Electronics Inc'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 inspections has Communications Electronics Inc had?

Communications Electronics Inc has 2 recorded roadside inspections in FMCSA's database, with 1 resulting in an out-of-service order, for an overall OOS rate of 50.0%. 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.

Is zero crashes always a good sign?

Generally yes, but context matters. A carrier with zero recorded crashes and very few inspections may simply have limited road exposure. Look at Communications Electronics Inc's inspection volume and fleet size alongside the crash count to judge whether the safety record reflects a strong operation or just low activity.

How large is Communications Electronics Inc's fleet?

Communications Electronics Inc operates 2 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 8 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 Communications Electronics Inc located?

Communications Electronics Inc is headquartered in Timonium, Maryland at 1953 Greenspring Drive. They operate in interstate commerce across state lines.

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 Communications Electronics Inc for changes?

If you tender loads to Communications Electronics 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.
