ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY: LUBBOCK, Texas Trucking Company
ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY is a small fleet operating out of LUBBOCK, Texas with USDOT number 1980246. The company operates 12 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, ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 39/100, classified as High Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY has undergone 31 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 38.7%, 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.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY carries 145 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 4, 2026. Across 31 recorded inspections, the record carries 0 driver out-of-service violations and 17 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 ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY: 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
ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat 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.
ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY 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: intrastate within 100 miles (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: 166,000 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, 3 tractors, 3 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.
Intrastate driver count: 6. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Sand,Gravel,Cement. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 5 crash events involving ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 3 involved a reported injury, and 5 resulted in a tow-away. 5 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: NOT REPORTED, NOT LISTED, TX on October 15, 2024.
How ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY Compares to the National Average
Across the 31 recorded inspections, ASSOCIATED GROUP INVESTMENT COMPANY's 38.7% vehicle out-of-service rate sits substantially above 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%.
