BURTSCHI TRANSPORT INC: RIVERBANK, California Trucking Company
BURTSCHI TRANSPORT INC is a small fleet operating out of RIVERBANK, California with USDOT number 2886198. The company operates 11 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, BURTSCHI TRANSPORT INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 46/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
BURTSCHI TRANSPORT INC has undergone 3 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 33.3%, 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 33.3%, 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 BURTSCHI TRANSPORT INC carries 27 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated March 18, 2026. Across 3 recorded inspections, the record carries 1 driver out-of-service violation 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 46/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for BURTSCHI TRANSPORT 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. 46 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
BURTSCHI TRANSPORT INC is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat 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.
BURTSCHI TRANSPORT 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: intrastate beyond 100 miles (10 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
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 11 straight trucks, 34 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.
Intrastate driver count: 10. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.

The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 5 crash events involving BURTSCHI TRANSPORT INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 0 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).
