FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

The vehicle out-of-service rate is 14.3%, 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 WOODCHUCK TREE SERVICE & STUMP REMOVAL OF WNY INC carries 16 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated October 14, 2026. Across 7 recorded inspections, the record carries 3 driver out-of-service violations and 2 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 60/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for WOODCHUCK TREE SERVICE & STUMP REMOVAL OF WNY 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. 60 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
WOODCHUCK TREE SERVICE & STUMP REMOVAL OF WNY INC is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat carrier.
The carrier is classified as Private Property, meaning it transports its own goods incidental to its primary business, exempt from MC-number authority but still subject to safety regulations under 49 CFR Part 390.
WOODCHUCK TREE SERVICE & STUMP REMOVAL OF WNY 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 (8 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: 128,000 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: 11 straight trucks. 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: 8. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
How WOODCHUCK TREE SERVICE & STUMP REMOVAL OF WNY INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 7 recorded inspections, WOODCHUCK TREE SERVICE & STUMP REMOVAL OF WNY INC's 14.3% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 28.6% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
