V LINE INC: SYRACUSE, New York Trucking Company

V LINE INC is a mid-size fleet operating out of SYRACUSE, New York with USDOT number 2308978. The company operates 84 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, V LINE INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

V LINE INC has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 4.0%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 6%, above the national average of 5.51%. Common causes include hours-of-service violations, expired medical certificates, and CDL issues.

What a 59/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for V LINE 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. 59 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

V LINE 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.

V LINE 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, 91 drivers); interstate within 100 miles (short-haul, 2 drivers); intrastate within 100 miles (6 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: 10,254,312 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: 59 tractors, 24 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 99 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: 6. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
