NEW DESERT XPRESS INC is a small fleet operating out of AMARILLO, Texas with USDOT number 2322148. The company operates 10 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, NEW DESERT XPRESS INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

NEW DESERT XPRESS INC has undergone 49 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 12.2%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 10.2%, above the national average of 5.51%. Common causes include hours-of-service violations, expired medical certificates, and CDL issues.

Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status

The public FMCSA record for NEW DESERT XPRESS INC carries 93 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated August 28, 2026. Across 49 recorded inspections, the record carries 5 driver out-of-service violations and 8 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 59/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for NEW DESERT XPRESS 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

NEW DESERT XPRESS 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.

NEW DESERT XPRESS 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, 7 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: 979,914 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: 10 tractors, 14 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 7 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.

Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Recycle Materials. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).

FMCSA Crash History

The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 7 crash events involving NEW DESERT XPRESS INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 2 involved a reported injury, and 7 resulted in a tow-away. 7 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: 33.932504/-118.100865, DOWNEY, CA on February 20, 2025.

NEW DESERT XPRESS INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend

Inspections cluster geographically across Colorado (16), Nevada (9), Utah (6). The concentration in Colorado is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams NEW DESERT XPRESS INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.

How NEW DESERT XPRESS INC Compares to the National Average

Across the 49 recorded inspections, NEW DESERT XPRESS INC's 12.2% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 10.2% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
