EARTH AND SEA INC: MANCHESTER CENTER, Vermont Trucking Company
EARTH AND SEA INC is a small fleet operating out of MANCHESTER CENTER, Vermont with USDOT number 4360180. The company operates 11 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, EARTH AND SEA INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
EARTH AND SEA INC has undergone 11 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 9.1%, 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 EARTH AND SEA INC carries 8 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 18, 2026. Across 11 recorded inspections, the record carries 0 driver out-of-service violations and 1 vehicle out-of-service violation.
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 EARTH AND SEA 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
EARTH AND SEA 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.
EARTH AND SEA 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, 5 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.
Fleet Composition and Driver Profile
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 11 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.
EARTH AND SEA INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across New Hampshire (7), New York (4). The concentration in New Hampshire is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams EARTH AND SEA INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How EARTH AND SEA INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 11 recorded inspections, EARTH AND SEA INC's 9.1% vehicle out-of-service rate sits well below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 0.0% driver out-of-service rate sits materially below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
