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 Interstate Distributor Co'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.

Fleet profile
Large (1,000–9,999 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 Interstate Distributor Co 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
0.95
Roughly one driver per truck. Typical for regional or local fleets.
Miles per Power Unit
93,144 mi
Moderate utilization typical of regional or LTL operations (2016 data).

Insurance history
Every insurance filing FMCSA has on record for Interstate Distributor Co, 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.

Process agents (BOC-3)
Every state where Interstate Distributor Co 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 Interstate Distributor Co and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.
What is the USDOT number for Interstate Distributor Co?
Interstate Distributor Co is assigned USDOT number 8273 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 Interstate Distributor Co?
Interstate Distributor Co's MC number is 117201. 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 Interstate Distributor Co authorized to operate?
Interstate Distributor Co's current operating status is INACTIVE. They do not currently have a formal safety rating from FMCSA. Always verify operating authority and request a current insurance certificate before tendering loads.
What does it mean that Interstate Distributor Co is inactive?
An inactive operating status means Interstate Distributor Co'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 Interstate Distributor Co been involved in?
FMCSA records 1,936 reported crashes for Interstate Distributor Co over a rolling 24-month window, including 82 fatal, 1,087 injury, and 1,762 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 Interstate Distributor Co's fleet?
Interstate Distributor Co operates 1,670 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 1,579 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 Interstate Distributor Co located?
Interstate Distributor Co is headquartered in North Liberty, Iowa at 901 North Kansas Avenue. 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 Interstate Distributor Co for changes?
If you tender loads to Interstate Distributor Co 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.
