Based on our analysis of federal safety data, CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 77/100, classified as Moderate Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY has undergone 8 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 12.5%, 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 CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY carries 17 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated June 18, 2026. Across 8 recorded inspections, the record carries 0 driver out-of-service violations and 2 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 77/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY: 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. 77 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat carrier.

The carrier holds an Private Property;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.

CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY 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). 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: 100 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: 4 straight trucks, 3 tractors, 5 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.

FMCSA Crash History

The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 5 crash events involving CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY in the available reporting window. Of these, 1 involved a fatality, 2 involved a reported injury, and 5 resulted in a tow-away. 5 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 26, CHAPIN, SC on February 15, 2023.

How CAROLINA ENTERPRISES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY Compares to the National Average
