MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL: MENDOTA, California Trucking Company
MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL is a small fleet operating out of MENDOTA, California with USDOT number 2645729. The company operates 15 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, MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 88/100, classified as Low Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 2.0%, 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 MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL carries 4 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated April 2, 2026. Across 50 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 MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL: 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
MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat carrier.
MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL 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 beyond 100 miles (16 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.
Fleet Composition and Driver Profile
The carrier reports 16 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: 16. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
How MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL Compares to the National Average
Across the 50 recorded inspections, MENDOTA UNIFIED SCHOOL's 2.0% 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%.
