DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC, DOT #4431781 FMCSA Safety & Compliance Report
Your driver and truck were put out of service on your latest roadside inspection: Texas on April 27.
That makes 5 of your 10 inspections in the last 24 months with an out-of-service order.
Your MCS-150 lists 9 trucks and 9 drivers.
Between March 13 and April 27 you had 5 inspections and 4 were out of service. Three or more inspections in 90 days with half or more out of service lets FMCSA pull your new-entrant safety audit forward (49 CFR 385.308).
In that audit, a driver who isn't physically qualified, or a disqualified driver, is an automatic failure on a single occurrence, and so are missing logs or annual truck inspections on more than half the records checked (49 CFR 385.321).
DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC is a small fleet motor carrier based in CLEVELAND, Texas (USDOT #4431781). As of October 22, 2026, it holds a Not Rated FMCSA safety rating and a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score of 39/100 (High Risk), based on 10 recent inspection(s) and 69 recorded violation(s) in public FMCSA data.

DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC: CLEVELAND, Texas Trucking Company
DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC is a small fleet operating out of CLEVELAND, Texas with USDOT number 4431781. The company operates 9 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, DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 39/100, classified as High Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC has undergone 10 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 40.0%, which is above the national average of 20.72%. This elevated rate indicates potential maintenance or pre-trip inspection deficiencies that could lead to roadside violations. The driver out-of-service rate is 20%, 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 DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC carries 69 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated April 27, 2026. Across 10 recorded inspections, the record carries 4 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 39/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for DST SAND & GRAVEL 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. 39 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's High Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat 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.
DST SAND & GRAVEL 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: intrastate beyond 100 miles (9 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: 9 tractors, 9 trailers. 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 9 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.
Intrastate driver count: 9. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Other. 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 3 crash events involving DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 1 involved a reported injury, and 2 resulted in a tow-away. 3 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: W 500 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX on March 3, 2026.
How DST SAND & GRAVEL LLC Compares to the National Average
