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 Richard Clauser'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 Richard Clauser'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 Richard Clauser, 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 Richard Clauser'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

Conditional

Rated Jul 21, 2000

A Conditional rating means FMCSA found the carrier does not have adequate safety management controls in place to ensure compliance with safety requirements. The carrier is allowed to continue operating but must correct identified deficiencies. Brokers should exercise additional due diligence.

Injuries

Tow-away

2 crashes reported. That translates to approximately 2000.0 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

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 Richard Clauser 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

108 mi

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

Crashes per 1,000 Units

2000.0

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

Insurance

What FMCSA's Licensing & Insurance system has on file for Richard Clauser right now, and the full filing history including cancelled policies. 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 Richard Clauser, 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.

Connected carriers

Other FMCSA-registered carriers whose contact information matches this one. We match on normalized phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses across every active and inactive USDOT record. Sharing contact details is common between affiliated companies, recently rebranded operations, fleet acquisitions, and shared dispatch offices, so a match alone is not a problem. Brokers typically review the matched carriers alongside the one they are about to book to confirm the relationship is what they expect.

Process agents (BOC-3)

Every state where Richard Clauser 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 Richard Clauser and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.

What is the USDOT number for Richard Clauser?

Richard Clauser is assigned USDOT number 780372 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 Richard Clauser?

Richard Clauser's MC number is 356680. 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 Richard Clauser authorized to operate?

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

How many crashes has Richard Clauser been involved in?

FMCSA records 2 reported crashes for Richard Clauser over a rolling 24-month window, including 0 fatal, 1 injury, and 1 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 Richard Clauser's fleet?

Richard Clauser operates 1 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 1 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 Richard Clauser located?

Richard Clauser is headquartered in Defuniak Springs, Florida at 27 Dallas Dr. They operate in interstate commerce across state lines.

What does a conditional safety rating mean?

A Conditional rating means FMCSA found safety management deficiencies during a compliance review. Richard Clauser is allowed to continue operating but must correct the identified issues. Brokers should exercise additional due diligence and may want to request more recent operational data before tendering loads.

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 Richard Clauser for changes?

If you tender loads to Richard Clauser 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.
