BAYSIDE FOOD INC: BARRINGTON, Rhode Island Trucking Company
BAYSIDE FOOD INC is a small fleet operating out of BARRINGTON, Rhode Island with USDOT number 3917398. The company operates 13 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, BAYSIDE FOOD INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
BAYSIDE FOOD INC has undergone 12 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 16.7%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 16.7%, 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 BAYSIDE FOOD INC carries 44 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated October 23, 2026. Across 12 recorded inspections, the record carries 2 driver out-of-service violations and 7 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 BAYSIDE FOOD 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
BAYSIDE FOOD INC is classified by FMCSA as an interstate 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.
BAYSIDE FOOD 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 within 100 miles (short-haul, 11 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: 56,000 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: 13 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.
BAYSIDE FOOD INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Rhode Island (6), Massachusetts (4), Connecticut (2). The concentration in Rhode Island is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams BAYSIDE FOOD INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How BAYSIDE FOOD INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 12 recorded inspections, BAYSIDE FOOD INC's 16.7% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 16.7% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
