CIS subtotal normalizes 3 publicly-available FMCSA components (Safety Rating + Inspection Pass Rate + OOS Rate) to a 0-100 surface. CSA SMS BASIC percentiles are not published in FMCSA's public Socrata datasets and the SMS portal at ai.fmcsa.dot.gov is not crawlable at scale, so we surface a transparent "Not measured" rather than fabricate a score component. Carriers with a Compliance Review on record may have published BASIC data on the SAFER snapshot for that DOT.

FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION: ELMHURST, New York Trucking Company

FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION is a small fleet operating out of ELMHURST, New York with USDOT number 444626. The company operates 8 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Conditional. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 69/100, classified as Moderate Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION has undergone 31 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 3.2%, 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 FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION carries 20 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated 20260902. Across 31 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 69/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

A CIS score of 69 places FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION in the Moderate Risk category. While not in immediate danger of targeted enforcement, there are areas for improvement. Common issues at this level include inconsistent driver qualification file maintenance, lapsed vehicle inspection schedules, or minor CSA BASIC score creep.

New York Trucking Compliance: ELMHURST Area Carriers

Motor carriers operating in New York must comply with both federal FMCSA regulations and state-specific transportation requirements. The ELMHURST, NY corridor is monitored by FMCSA field offices and state highway patrol units conducting roadside inspections. Carriers based in ELMHURST should ensure driver qualification files, vehicle inspection reports, and hours-of-service records are current and audit-ready at all times.

FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION falls under the Eastern Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 01). Service-center territory drives which FMCSA Investigator team would conduct a new-entrant audit or compliance review if one is triggered for this carrier.

FileFlo helps New York trucking companies automate compliance document tracking across 600+ document types, including CDL medical cards, annual vehicle inspections, drug & alcohol testing records, and driver training certifications.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION 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.

Business organization type: Corporation.

FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION 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); interstate within 100 miles (short-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: 204,103 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

The carrier reports 8 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.

Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Pet Foods. 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 8 crash events involving FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 2 involved a reported injury, and 8 resulted in a tow-away. 8 events meet the federal-recordable threshold under 49 CFR 390.5 (fatality, injury treated away from the scene, OR tow-away of any vehicle).

Federal-recordable crashes feed the Crash Indicator BASIC in CSA: carriers above the intervention threshold are 7-10x more likely to be selected for a compliance review than peer carriers below the threshold. Insurance carriers also pull federal-recordable crash counts during quoting; a single recordable crash in a 24-month look-back can drive a 10-20% premium increase for owner-operators and small fleets.

Most recent recorded event: NJ 4 SECONDARY, PARAMUS BORO, NJ on 20240828.

FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend

Inspections cluster geographically across New York (26), New Jersey (3), US (1). The concentration in New York is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.

How FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION Compares to the National Average

Across the 31 recorded inspections, FAUNA FOODS CORPORATION's 3.2% 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%. Vehicle OOS-rate variance is the strongest predictor of Vehicle Maintenance BASIC scores in CSA; driver OOS-rate variance is the strongest predictor of Hours-of-Service Compliance + Driver Fitness BASIC scores.

FMCSA's intervention thresholds (the percentile bands that trigger investigator outreach) are roughly 65th percentile for non-passenger non-hazmat carriers (75th for hazmat, 70th for passenger) on each BASIC. Carriers that consistently sit above the national average across multiple BASICs accumulate intervention risk faster than carriers with mixed performance. A single high BASIC alone rarely triggers enforcement; sustained over-threshold performance does.
