CIS subtotal normalizes 3 publicly-available FMCSA components (Safety Rating + Inspection Pass Rate + OOS Rate) to a 0–100 surface. CSA SMS BASIC percentiles are not published in FMCSA's public Socrata datasets and the SMS portal at ai.fmcsa.dot.gov is not crawlable at scale, so we surface a transparent "Not measured" rather than fabricate a score component. Carriers with a Compliance Review on record may have published BASIC data on the SAFER snapshot for that DOT.
SMART CHEMICAL SERVICES LP is a mid-size fleet operating out of AMARILLO, Texas with USDOT number 1815949. The company operates 44 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of None. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, SMART CHEMICAL SERVICES LP has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 69/100, classified as Moderate Risk.
Limited inspection data is currently available for SMART CHEMICAL SERVICES LP. Carriers with fewer recorded inspections may face increased scrutiny during roadside encounters, as FMCSA inspectors may flag them for more thorough reviews.
A CIS score of 69 places SMART CHEMICAL SERVICES LP in the Moderate Risk category. While not in immediate danger of targeted enforcement, there are areas for improvement. Common issues at this level include inconsistent driver qualification file maintenance, lapsed vehicle inspection schedules, or minor CSA BASIC score creep.
Motor carriers operating in Texas must comply with both federal FMCSA regulations and state-specific transportation requirements. The AMARILLO, TX corridor is monitored by FMCSA field offices and state highway patrol units conducting roadside inspections. Carriers based in AMARILLO should ensure driver qualification files, vehicle inspection reports, and hours-of-service records are current and audit-ready at all times.
FileFlo helps Texas trucking companies automate compliance document tracking across 600+ document types, including CDL medical cards, annual vehicle inspections, drug & alcohol testing records, and driver training certifications.
SMART CHEMICAL SERVICES LP is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.
The carrier is classified as Private Property — meaning it transports its own goods incidental to its primary business, exempt from MC-number authority but still subject to safety regulations under 49 CFR Part 390.
SMART CHEMICAL SERVICES LP 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). Penalties for hazmat violations can reach $89,678 per knowing violation (2026 inflation-adjusted) — substantially higher than the $16,550 baseline.
Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 29 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: 1,209,713 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.
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 10 straight trucks, 34 tractors, 15 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 29 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.
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 1 crash event involving SMART CHEMICAL SERVICES LP in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 0 involved a reported injury, and 1 resulted in a tow-away. 1 event meets the federal-recordable threshold under 49 CFR 390.5 (fatality, injury treated away from the scene, OR tow-away of any vehicle).
Federal-recordable crashes feed the Crash Indicator BASIC in CSA — carriers above the intervention threshold are 7–10x more likely to be selected for a compliance review than peer carriers below the threshold. Insurance carriers also pull federal-recordable crash counts during quoting; a single recordable crash in a 24-month look-back can drive a 10-20% premium increase for owner-operators and small fleets.
Most recent recorded event: FM 1212, NOT LISTED, TX on 20240925.
