PINNACLE PROPANE LLC is a large fleet operating out of IRVING, Texas with USDOT number 2135609. The company operates 306 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, PINNACLE PROPANE LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
PINNACLE PROPANE LLC has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 18.0%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 2%, within acceptable range compared to the 5.51% national average.
The public FMCSA record for PINNACLE PROPANE LLC carries 75 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 14, 2026. Across 50 recorded inspections, the record carries 1 driver out-of-service violation and 15 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.
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for PINNACLE PROPANE LLC: 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. 59 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
PINNACLE PROPANE LLC 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.
PINNACLE PROPANE LLC 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, 41 drivers); interstate within 100 miles (short-haul, 27 drivers); intrastate beyond 100 miles (90 drivers); intrastate within 100 miles (31 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: 4,010,000 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: 54 straight trucks, 3 tractors, 73 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 153 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: 121. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 20 crash events involving PINNACLE PROPANE LLC in the available reporting window. Of these, 1 involved a fatality, 9 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: NOT REPORTED, NOT LISTED, TX on December 6, 2024.
Inspections cluster geographically across Texas (40), Oklahoma (3), Missouri (2). The concentration in Texas is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams PINNACLE PROPANE LLC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
Across the 50 recorded inspections, PINNACLE PROPANE LLC's 18.0% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 2.0% driver out-of-service rate sits well below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
