CIS subtotal normalizes 3 publicly-available FMCSA components (Safety Rating + Inspection Pass Rate + OOS Rate) to a 0–100 surface. CSA SMS BASIC percentiles are not published in FMCSA's public Socrata datasets and the SMS portal at ai.fmcsa.dot.gov is not crawlable at scale, so we surface a transparent "Not measured" rather than fabricate a score component. Carriers with a Compliance Review on record may have published BASIC data on the SAFER snapshot for that DOT.
BAJA FREIGHT LTD is a large fleet operating out of FISHERS, Indiana with USDOT number 3700104. The company operates 406 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, BAJA FREIGHT LTD has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 69/100, classified as Moderate Risk. This score reflects limited public data — a full roadside-inspection history was not available at page generation, so the inspection and out-of-service components use conservative neutral values.
Limited inspection data is currently available for BAJA FREIGHT LTD. Carriers with fewer recorded inspections may face increased scrutiny during roadside encounters, as FMCSA inspectors may flag them for more thorough reviews.
A CIS score of 69 places BAJA FREIGHT LTD in the Moderate Risk category. While not in immediate danger of targeted enforcement, there are areas for improvement. Common issues at this level include inconsistent driver qualification file maintenance, lapsed vehicle inspection schedules, or minor CSA BASIC score creep.
Motor carriers operating in Indiana must comply with both federal FMCSA regulations and state-specific transportation requirements. The FISHERS, IN corridor is monitored by FMCSA field offices and state highway patrol units conducting roadside inspections. Carriers based in FISHERS should ensure driver qualification files, vehicle inspection reports, and hours-of-service records are current and audit-ready at all times.
FileFlo helps Indiana trucking companies automate compliance document tracking across 600+ document types, including CDL medical cards, annual vehicle inspections, drug & alcohol testing records, and driver training certifications.
BAJA FREIGHT LTD 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.
BAJA FREIGHT LTD 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, 425 drivers); interstate within 100 miles (short-haul, 51 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: 44,736,134 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.
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 336 tractors. 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 476 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.
Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Auto Parts. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 20 crash events involving BAJA FREIGHT LTD in the available reporting window. Of these, 1 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).
Federal-recordable crashes feed the Crash Indicator BASIC in CSA — carriers above the intervention threshold are 7–10x more likely to be selected for a compliance review than peer carriers below the threshold. Insurance carriers also pull federal-recordable crash counts during quoting; a single recordable crash in a 24-month look-back can drive a 10-20% premium increase for owner-operators and small fleets.
Most recent recorded event: 4700 IH 35 N, NEW BRAUNFELS, TX on 20260526.
