EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED: SOUTH HOLLAND, Illinois Trucking Company

EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED is a mid-size fleet operating out of SOUTH HOLLAND, Illinois with USDOT number 1237869. The company operates 20 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 39/100, classified as High Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED has undergone 30 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 23.3%, which is above the national average of 20.72%. This elevated rate indicates potential maintenance or pre-trip inspection deficiencies that could lead to roadside violations. The driver out-of-service rate is 3.3%, within acceptable range compared to the 5.51% national average.

Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status

The public FMCSA record for EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED carries 98 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 21, 2026. Across 30 recorded inspections, the record carries 2 driver out-of-service violations and 10 vehicle out-of-service violations.

A recorded violation is what an inspector wrote down at the roadside. It is not a penalty, and it is not an amount owed: FMCSA assesses civil penalties only after a compliance review classifies specific cited violations. The step that changes this record is the document behind each line, so the next move is to see which records an investigator would ask for and which of them exist today.

What a 39/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED: the safety rating, the inspection pass rate and the out-of-service rate against the national average. It is not an FMCSA score, and FMCSA does not use it to choose carriers for an investigation. 39 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's High Risk band.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.

The carrier holds an Authorized For Hire classification, meaning it transports cargo or passengers for compensation under FMCSA operating authority and is subject to MC-number requirements at 49 CFR Part 365.

EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED is not flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazmat carrier (HM indicator: N), so the carrier is not subject to the additional 49 CFR Subchapter C hazmat regulations.

Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 15 drivers). The 100-mile boundary matters because drivers operating within a 100-air-mile radius qualify for the short-haul exception under 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1), which removes the requirement to maintain RODS for the day.

Self-reported MCS-150 annual mileage: 577,988 miles. MCS-150 mileage feeds the FMCSA SafeStat exposure denominator: drastically understated mileage can artificially inflate CSA BASIC percentile scores by reducing the per-mile exposure baseline. Updates are required every 24 months under 49 CFR 390.19.

Fleet Composition and Driver Profile

Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 10 tractors, 10 trailers. Owned-vs-leased equipment matters for compliance documentation, owned trailers require the carrier to retain annual inspection certificates under 49 CFR 396.17, while leased trailers shift that documentation responsibility to the lease agreement.

The carrier reports 15 CDL-holding drivers on file. Each CDL driver must have a current Driver Qualification File (DQF) maintained per 49 CFR 391.51, including a Medical Examiner's Certificate, an annual MVR review, and a record of road-test results.

FMCSA Crash History

The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 19 crash events involving EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED in the available reporting window. Of these, 1 involved a fatality, 9 involved a reported injury, and 19 resulted in a tow-away. 19 events meet the federal-recordable threshold under 49 CFR 390.5 (fatality, injury treated away from the scene, OR tow-away of any vehicle).

Most recent recorded event: I-65, LAFAYETTE, IN on July 16, 2026.

EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend

Inspections cluster geographically across Indiana (14), Wisconsin (10), Illinois (4). The concentration in Indiana is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.

How EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED Compares to the National Average

Across the 30 recorded inspections, EJQ EXPRESS INCORPORATED's 23.3% vehicle out-of-service rate sits moderately above the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 3.3% driver out-of-service rate sits slightly below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
