GOLD STAR TRANS INC: INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana Trucking Company

GOLD STAR TRANS INC is a small fleet operating out of INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana with USDOT number 2144910. The company operates 6 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, GOLD STAR TRANS INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 88/100, classified as Low Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

GOLD STAR TRANS INC has undergone 14 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 7.1%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices.

Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status

The public FMCSA record for GOLD STAR TRANS INC carries 22 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated July 30, 2026. Across 14 recorded inspections, the record carries 0 driver out-of-service violations and 1 vehicle out-of-service violation.

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 88/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for GOLD STAR TRANS 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. 88 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Low Risk band.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

GOLD STAR TRANS 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.

GOLD STAR TRANS 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, 8 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: 220,000 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: 6 tractors, 6 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 8 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 9 crash events involving GOLD STAR TRANS INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 0 involved a reported injury, and 9 resulted in a tow-away. 9 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 0065, GLENDALE, KY on October 3, 2023.

GOLD STAR TRANS INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend

Inspections cluster geographically across Illinois (4), Texas (2), Tennessee (2). The concentration in Illinois is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams GOLD STAR TRANS INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.

How GOLD STAR TRANS INC Compares to the National Average

Across the 14 recorded inspections, GOLD STAR TRANS INC's 7.1% vehicle out-of-service rate sits well 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%.
