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.

Georgia Trucking Compliance: AUGUSTA Area Carriers

Motor carriers operating in Georgia must comply with both federal FMCSA regulations and state-specific transportation requirements. The AUGUSTA, GA corridor is monitored by FMCSA field offices and state highway patrol units conducting roadside inspections. Carriers based in AUGUSTA should ensure driver qualification files, vehicle inspection reports, and hours-of-service records are current and audit-ready at all times.

LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC falls under the Southern Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 04). Service-center territory drives which FMCSA Investigator team would conduct a new-entrant audit or compliance review if one is triggered for this carrier.

FileFlo helps Georgia 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.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.

The carrier holds an Private Property;Private Passenger, Business;Private Passenger, Non-Business;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.

Business organization type: Corporation.

LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC 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 within 100 miles (short-haul, 19 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: 557,416 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: 1 tractor. 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 19 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 8 crash events involving LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 4 involved a reported injury, and 7 resulted in a tow-away. 8 events meet 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: IS 44, ST LOUIS, MO on 20250214.

LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend

Inspections cluster geographically across Georgia (23), South Carolina (1), Alabama (1). The concentration in Georgia is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.

How LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC Compares to the National Average

Across the 27 recorded inspections, LEWIS LEASE EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC's 0.0% vehicle out-of-service rate sits materially below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 0.0% driver out-of-service rate sits materially below the 2024 national average of 5.51%. Vehicle OOS-rate variance is the strongest predictor of Vehicle Maintenance BASIC scores in CSA; driver OOS-rate variance is the strongest predictor of Hours-of-Service Compliance + Driver Fitness BASIC scores.

FMCSA's intervention thresholds (the percentile bands that trigger investigator outreach) are roughly 65th percentile for non-passenger non-hazmat carriers (75th for hazmat, 70th for passenger) on each BASIC. Carriers that consistently sit above the national average across multiple BASICs accumulate intervention risk faster than carriers with mixed performance. A single high BASIC alone rarely triggers enforcement; sustained over-threshold performance does.
