VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD is a large fleet operating out of AUSTIN, Texas with USDOT number 2165438. The company operates 114 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, VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 39/100, classified as High Risk.
VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD has undergone 35 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 37.1%, 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 17.1%, above the national average of 5.51%. Common causes include hours-of-service violations, expired medical certificates, and CDL issues.
The public FMCSA record for VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD carries 101 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 23, 2026. Across 35 recorded inspections, the record carries 8 driver out-of-service violations and 18 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 VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD: 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.
VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD 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.
VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD 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 (62 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: 2,025,500 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.
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 30 straight trucks. 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 27 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: 62. 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: Fencing Materials, P. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 14 crash events involving VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 4 involved a reported injury, and 10 resulted in a tow-away. 14 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: E 10256 FM 1431, NOT LISTED, TX on May 6, 2025.
Inspections cluster geographically across Texas (34), Oklahoma (1). The concentration in Texas is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
Across the 35 recorded inspections, VIKING FENCE COMPANY LTD's 37.1% vehicle out-of-service rate sits substantially above the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 17.1% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
