ILKA INC: STAFFORD, Texas Trucking Company
ILKA INC is a small fleet operating out of STAFFORD, Texas with USDOT number 4279335. The company operates 14 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, ILKA INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 39/100, classified as High Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
ILKA INC has undergone 46 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 6.5%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 23.9%, 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 ILKA INC carries 61 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 9, 2026. Across 46 recorded inspections, the record carries 11 driver out-of-service violations and 4 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 39/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for ILKA 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. 39 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's High Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
ILKA 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.
ILKA 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, 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: 418,466 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: 14 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.
Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Furniture. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 1 crash event involving ILKA INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 0 involved a reported injury, and 1 resulted in a tow-away. 1 event meets 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: 24.9 FEET NORTH OF MILE POINT 1.408 ON US 15 - CAT, POINT OF ROCKS, MD on October 7, 2025.
ILKA INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Maryland (8), Mississippi (6), Arkansas (3). The concentration in Maryland is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams ILKA INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How ILKA INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 46 recorded inspections, ILKA INC's 6.5% vehicle out-of-service rate sits well below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 23.9% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
