AP SILVER TRANS LLC, DOT #4481860 FMCSA Safety & Compliance Report
12 of your 50 roadside inspections in the last 24 months ended with an out-of-service order, most recently California on October 7.
Your latest, Mississippi on October 16, had 1 violation, none out of service.
Your MCS-150 lists 15 trucks and 15 drivers.
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).
AP SILVER TRANS LLC is a small fleet motor carrier based in LAKE FOREST, Illinois (USDOT #4481860).

AP SILVER TRANS LLC: LAKE FOREST, Illinois Trucking Company
AP SILVER TRANS LLC is a small fleet operating out of LAKE FOREST, Illinois with USDOT number 4481860. The company operates 15 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, AP SILVER TRANS LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
AP SILVER TRANS LLC has undergone 50 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 22.0%, 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 4%, within acceptable range compared to the 5.51% national average.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for AP SILVER TRANS LLC carries 63 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated October 16, 2026. Across 50 recorded inspections, the record carries 3 driver out-of-service violations and 16 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 59/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for AP SILVER TRANS 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. 59 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
AP SILVER TRANS 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.
AP SILVER TRANS 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, 15 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: 10 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 15 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: Paper Product. 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 10 crash events involving AP SILVER TRANS LLC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 3 involved a reported injury, and 10 resulted in a tow-away. 10 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: 77, STATESVILLE, NC on October 12, 2026.
AP SILVER TRANS LLC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Tennessee (8), Kentucky (5), New Mexico (5). The concentration in Tennessee is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams AP SILVER TRANS LLC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How AP SILVER TRANS LLC Compares to the National Average
Across the 50 recorded inspections, AP SILVER TRANS LLC's 22.0% vehicle out-of-service rate sits moderately above the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 4.0% driver out-of-service rate sits slightly below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
