This USDOT is inactive
FMCSA lists this carrier as inactive, which means it is not currently authorized to operate. Inactive does not mean the carrier never existed or that the historical data on this page is inaccurate. The record stays on USDOTwatch because brokers, insurers, and compliance teams still need to look up historical entities, audit past bookings, and trace predecessor carriers when reviewing related operations. See the methodology for how inactive records are handled.
Is this carrier bookable?
There is a blocking issue on this exact carrier record that should be resolved before booking.
Six things go into this read of Jerold Ray Chaney'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.

That helps you judge whether their capacity, utilization, and safety performance match the kind of load you're looking to tender.

53,829 mi
Moderate utilization typical of regional or LTL operations (2019 data).

Common questions brokers and shippers ask about Jerold Ray Chaney and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.
What is the USDOT number for Jerold Ray Chaney?
Jerold Ray Chaney is assigned USDOT number 676341 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 Jerold Ray Chaney?
Jerold Ray Chaney's MC number is 304870. 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 Jerold Ray Chaney authorized to operate?

What does it mean that Jerold Ray Chaney is inactive?
An inactive operating status means Jerold Ray Chaney's USDOT registration has lapsed, often because they failed to file the required biennial MCS-150 update or chose to deactivate their authority. Inactive carriers are not currently authorized to operate. Do not tender loads to inactive carriers without first verifying current authority directly with FMCSA.
How many crashes has Jerold Ray Chaney been involved in?
FMCSA records 2 reported crashes for Jerold Ray Chaney over a rolling 24-month window, including 0 fatal, 6 injury, and 2 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 Jerold Ray Chaney's fleet?
Jerold Ray Chaney operates 2 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 Jerold Ray Chaney located?
Jerold Ray Chaney is headquartered in Thorsby, Alabama at 786 Co Rd 71. 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 Jerold Ray Chaney for changes?
If you tender loads to Jerold Ray Chaney 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.

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.
