WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC: WAKARUSA, Indiana Trucking Company

WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC is a small fleet operating out of WAKARUSA, Indiana with USDOT number 1733481. The company operates 14 power units and has no published FMCSA safety rating (most active carriers are unrated unless they have undergone a compliance review). Based on our analysis of federal safety data, WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 69/100, classified as Moderate Risk. This score reflects limited public data: a full roadside-inspection history was not available at page generation, so the inspection and out-of-service components use conservative neutral values.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

Limited inspection data is currently available for WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC. Carriers with fewer recorded inspections may face increased scrutiny during roadside encounters, as FMCSA inspectors may flag them for more thorough reviews.

What a 69/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC: 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. 69 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC 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.

WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC is flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazardous materials carrier (HM indicator: Y). Hazmat carriers are subject to additional regulations under 49 CFR Subchapter C, including HM-126 reporting, HM-232 security planning, and the Hazmat Cargo Tank Annual Inspection requirement (49 CFR 180.407). Hazmat violations carry their own, higher penalty schedule, separate from the general FMCSA schedule.

Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 6 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: 161,000 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: 9 straight trucks, 5 tractors, 5 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 6 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.

What FMCSA Records Show for DOT #1733481 Today

WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC operates as a small fleet (6-20 power units): roughly 8% of registered interstate carriers fall in this band, per the most recent FMCSA Pocket Guide carrier-population distribution. Fleet-size band drives which compliance burdens are most material: micro-fleet operators most often cite driver qualification file maintenance and ELD compliance as their top time burdens; mid-size fleets shift toward maintenance-record retention and DOT audit preparation; large fleets focus on third-party drug-test program administration and corporate-level CSA percentile management.

This profile shows no recorded DOT inspections in the available reporting window. The 2024 FMCSA inspection-rate baseline runs ~3 inspections per power-unit per year for interstate carriers; carriers with materially lower rates either operate primarily within a 150-air-mile radius (lower exposure to roadside inspections) OR are recently registered and have not yet been encountered by an inspection team. WAKARUSA HEAVY EQUIPMENT LLC's 14-power-unit fleet would, at the national rate, see ~42 inspections per year.
