DSM TRANSPORT LLC: FRANKLIN, Indiana Trucking Company
DSM TRANSPORT LLC is a mid-size fleet operating out of FRANKLIN, Indiana with USDOT number 4108560. The company operates 28 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, DSM TRANSPORT LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 77/100, classified as Moderate Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
DSM TRANSPORT LLC has undergone 43 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 14.0%, 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 DSM TRANSPORT LLC carries 43 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated October 29, 2026. Across 43 recorded inspections, the record carries 0 driver out-of-service violations and 6 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 77/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for DSM TRANSPORT LLC: 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. 77 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
DSM TRANSPORT LLC 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.
DSM TRANSPORT LLC 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, 26 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: 426,141 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.
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 6 crash events involving DSM TRANSPORT LLC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 3 involved a reported injury, and 5 resulted in a tow-away. 6 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: I 0065, LOUISVILLE, KY on August 31, 2026.
DSM TRANSPORT LLC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Tennessee (9), Indiana (5), Kentucky (4). The concentration in Tennessee is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams DSM TRANSPORT LLC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
