Is this carrier bookable?
Nothing here stands out as an immediate reason not to use this carrier.
Six things go into this read of Modesto Sotelo'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 Modesto Sotelo 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
0.67
Lower than one driver per truck suggests owner-operators or part-time drivers.
Miles per Power Unit
14,484 mi
Lower utilization often seen with local, dedicated, or specialty operations (2025 data).
Inspections per Power Unit
5.0
High roadside inspection activity relative to fleet size.
Crashes per 1,000 Units
0.0
Below industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

ON FILE (BIPD)
BIPD means bodily injury and property damage liability.
Insurance history
Every insurance filing FMCSA has on record for Modesto Sotelo, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions brokers and shippers ask about Modesto Sotelo and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.
What is the USDOT number for Modesto Sotelo?
Modesto Sotelo is assigned USDOT number 3140584 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 Modesto Sotelo?
Modesto Sotelo's MC number is 98859. 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 Modesto Sotelo authorized to operate?
Modesto Sotelo'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 Modesto Sotelo had?
Modesto Sotelo has 15 recorded roadside inspections in FMCSA's database, with 2 resulting in an out-of-service order, for an overall OOS rate of 13.3%. 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.
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 Modesto Sotelo'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 Modesto Sotelo's fleet?
Modesto Sotelo operates 3 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 2 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 Modesto Sotelo located?
Modesto Sotelo is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona at 12127 S Cherokee Ln. 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 Modesto Sotelo for changes?
If you tender loads to Modesto Sotelo 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.
About this data

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.
