CARGO TRANSFER INC: ROCHESTER, New York Trucking Company
CARGO TRANSFER INC is a mid-size fleet operating out of ROCHESTER, New York with USDOT number 2960376. The company operates 31 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, CARGO TRANSFER INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
CARGO TRANSFER INC has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 6.0%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 2%, within acceptable range compared to the 5.51% national average.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for CARGO TRANSFER INC carries 28 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 18, 2026. Across 50 recorded inspections, the record carries 2 driver out-of-service violations and 3 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 CARGO TRANSFER 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
CARGO TRANSFER 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.
CARGO TRANSFER 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, 33 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: 3,360,000 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
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 31 tractors, 40 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 33 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 13 crash events involving CARGO TRANSFER INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 4 involved a reported injury, and 13 resulted in a tow-away. 13 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: CHENELL DR AT REGIONAL DR, CONCORD, NH on March 4, 2026.
CARGO TRANSFER INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across New York (22), Ohio (7), Illinois (4). The concentration in New York is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams CARGO TRANSFER INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How CARGO TRANSFER INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 50 recorded inspections, CARGO TRANSFER INC's 6.0% vehicle out-of-service rate sits well below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 2.0% driver out-of-service rate sits well below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
