PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS INC is a large fleet operating out of CHICAGO, Illinois with USDOT number 207231. The company operates 203 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 100/100, classified as Low Risk.
PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS INC has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections.
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS 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. 100 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Low Risk band.
PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS INC falls under the Midwestern Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 05). Service-center territory drives which FMCSA Investigator team would conduct a new-entrant audit or compliance review if one is triggered for this carrier.
PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS INC 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.
Business organization type: Corporation.
PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS INC 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, 19 drivers); interstate within 100 miles (short-haul, 206 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: 7,434,000 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.
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 13 tractors. 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 214 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 20 crash events involving PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 5 involved a reported injury, and 19 resulted in a tow-away. 20 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: I-94 N/B, CHICAGO, IL on July 8, 2026.
Across the 50 recorded inspections, PACELLA TRUCKING EXPRESS 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%.
