The trucking companies with the worst federal safety scores
Federal inspectors said the list highlights carriers with repeated violations, crashes and out-of-service orders that help determine a company’s safety rating.
- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration tracked safety performance for three large interstate carriers, each reporting vehicle out-of-service rates exceeding the 22.26% national average.
- Roadside inspections provide a standardized way to compare commercial vehicle conditions, though FMCSA cautions these metrics do not constitute an overall federal safety grade.
- North American Van Lines reported a 31.3% vehicle out-of-service rate, Transco Lines reported 29.7%, and Atlas Van Lines reported 24.1%, with all three holding satisfactory federal safety ratings.
- Federal records track reportable crashes, though FMCSA notes these counts document involvement, not fault; Atlas recorded 61 crashes over 24 months, with 13 resulting in injuries and none fatal.
- These inspection records serve as a snapshot of what inspectors found rather than a verdict on how carriers operate across their entire networks, as public data lacks complete route histories.
