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 Open Era LLC'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 revocations

Revocation orders FMCSA has issued against Open Era LLC's operating authority. Voluntary revocations are typically requested by the carrier when winding down operations or restructuring. Involuntary revocations are FMCSA enforcement actions, usually triggered by missed insurance filings, missed civil penalty payments, or compliance failures. An involuntary revocation in the recent history is the strongest negative signal on this page.

Authority history

Every operating-authority action FMCSA has recorded against Open Era LLC, 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 Open Era LLC'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

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

Mid-size (100–999 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 Open Era LLC 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

888 mi

Lower utilization often seen with local, dedicated, or specialty operations (2025 data).

Inspections per Power Unit

0.3

Lower inspection activity, sometimes seen with local or low-mileage operations.

Crashes per 1,000 Units

0.0

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

Insurance history

Every insurance filing FMCSA has on record for Open Era LLC, 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 Open Era LLC and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.

What is the USDOT number for Open Era LLC?

Open Era LLC is assigned USDOT number 4201696 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 Open Era LLC?

Open Era LLC's MC number is 1351564. 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 Open Era LLC authorized to operate?

Open Era LLC'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 Open Era LLC had?

Open Era LLC has 26 recorded roadside inspections in FMCSA's database, with 2 resulting in an out-of-service order, for an overall OOS rate of 7.7%. 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 Open Era LLC'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 Open Era LLC's fleet?

Open Era LLC operates 101 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 101 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 Open Era LLC located?

Open Era LLC is headquartered in El Campo, Texas at 1084 County Road 479. 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 Open Era LLC for changes?

If you tender loads to Open Era LLC 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

This profile is compiled from publicly available FMCSA data including the Company Census File, inspection and crash reports, SMS/BASIC safety scores, the Licensing & Insurance system, and the AuthHist, Revocation, OUT OF SERVICE ORDERS, InsHist, and BOC3 datasets on the DOT public data portal. 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. For authoritative records, verify with FMCSA SAFER.
