RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC, DOT #4434638 FMCSA Safety & Compliance Report
11 of your 29 roadside inspections in the last 24 months ended with an out-of-service order, most recently Pennsylvania on August 26.
Your latest, Maryland on September 23, was clean.
Your MCS-150 lists 9 trucks and 9 drivers.
Between June 3 and August 26 you had 8 inspections and 6 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, missing logs on more than half the records checked is an automatic failure (49 CFR 385.321). Your roadside record already has violations under that section: 49 CFR 395.8(a).
RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC is a small fleet motor carrier based in BELTSVILLE, Maryland (USDOT #4434638).

RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC is a small fleet operating out of BELTSVILLE, Maryland with USDOT number 4434638. 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, RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 39/100, classified as High Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC has undergone 29 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 3.4%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 37.9%, 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 RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC carries 47 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 23, 2026. Across 29 recorded inspections, the record carries 14 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 39/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for RICHARD TRANSPORTATION 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
RICHARD TRANSPORTATION 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.
RICHARD TRANSPORTATION 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, 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.
RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Maryland (25), Pennsylvania (3), Virginia (1). The concentration in Maryland is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC Compares to the National Average
Across the 29 recorded inspections, RICHARD TRANSPORTATION LLC's 3.4% vehicle out-of-service rate sits well below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 37.9% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
