DC NATION INC: FORT WASHINGTON, Maryland Trucking Company
DC NATION INC is a small fleet operating out of FORT WASHINGTON, Maryland with USDOT number 2050590. The company operates 7 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, DC NATION INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 83/100, classified as Low Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
DC NATION INC has undergone 27 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 22.2%, 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 3.7%, within acceptable range compared to the 5.51% national average.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for DC NATION INC carries 25 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated March 6, 2026. Across 27 recorded inspections, the record carries 1 driver out-of-service violation and 7 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 83/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for DC NATION INC: 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. 83 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Low Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
DC NATION 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.
DC NATION 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 beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 2 drivers); interstate within 100 miles (short-haul, 3 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: 19,500 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
The carrier reports 5 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.
DC NATION INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Maryland (22), US (4), District of Columbia (1). The concentration in Maryland is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams DC NATION INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How DC NATION INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 27 recorded inspections, DC NATION INC's 22.2% vehicle out-of-service rate sits moderately above the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 3.7% driver out-of-service rate sits slightly below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
