VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC: AURORA, Illinois Trucking Company
VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC is a mid-size fleet operating out of AURORA, Illinois with USDOT number 2889562. The company operates 45 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, VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 71/100, classified as Moderate Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 16.0%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 8%, 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 VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC carries 64 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated October 27, 2025. Across 50 recorded inspections, the record carries 4 driver out-of-service violations and 9 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 71/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC: 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. 71 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC 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.
VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC is flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazardous materials carrier (HM indicator: Y). Hazmat carriers are subject to additional regulations under 49 CFR Subchapter C, including HM-126 reporting, HM-232 security planning, and the Hazmat Cargo Tank Annual Inspection requirement (49 CFR 180.407). Hazmat violations carry their own, higher penalty schedule, separate from the general FMCSA schedule.
Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 47 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: 4,600,000 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
The carrier reports 47 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.
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 20 crash events involving VENTURES MOTOR FREIGHT LLC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 7 involved a reported injury, and 18 resulted in a tow-away. 20 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: 85, BURLINGTON, NC on September 14, 2026.
