FMCSA's licensing record shows MC1490882, motor property common carrier authority, granted on November 28, 2022.
FMCSA served an involuntary revocation notice on this authority in the last 24 months, on October 15, 2025, and it was discontinued on November 5, 2025.
2 BMC-91X liability filings were cancelled on FMCSA's insurance record in the last 24 months, most recently Corepointe Insurance Company's, effective November 11, 2025.
When the policy behind a BMC-91X is cancelled, the insurer must give FMCSA 30 days' notice (49 CFR 387.313(d)), and FMCSA starts revoking the operating authority unless a replacement filing is on record.
ATMOS FREIGHT INC is a mid-size fleet operating out of AURORA, Illinois with USDOT number 3981486. The company operates 87 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, ATMOS FREIGHT INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
ATMOS FREIGHT INC has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 20.0%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 12%, above the national average of 5.51%. Common causes include hours-of-service violations, expired medical certificates, and CDL issues.
The public FMCSA record for ATMOS FREIGHT INC carries 93 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated October 15, 2026. Across 50 recorded inspections, the record carries 11 driver out-of-service violations and 13 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.
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for ATMOS FREIGHT 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.
ATMOS FREIGHT INC is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.
The carrier holds an Private Property;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.
ATMOS FREIGHT 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, 90 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: 9,000,000 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.
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 87 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 90 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.
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 11 crash events involving ATMOS FREIGHT INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 1 involved a reported injury, and 11 resulted in a tow-away. 11 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: US-69, SAVANNA, OK on August 29, 2026.
Inspections cluster geographically across California (6), Arizona (5), New Mexico (4). The concentration in California is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams ATMOS FREIGHT INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
Across the 50 recorded inspections, ATMOS FREIGHT INC's 20.0% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 12.0% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
