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).

POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC: BROOKLYN, New York Trucking Company
POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC is a mid-size fleet operating out of BROOKLYN, New York with USDOT number 4510053. The company operates 42 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, POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 74/100, classified as Moderate Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC has undergone 4 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 25.0%, 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.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC carries 5 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated July 1, 2026. Across 4 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 74/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES 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. 74 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC 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.
POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES 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: intrastate within 100 miles (42 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
The carrier reports 42 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: 42. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
How POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 4 recorded inspections, POPULAR TRANSPORT SERVICES INC's 25.0% vehicle out-of-service rate sits moderately above 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%.

FMCSA shows your registration on December 23, 2025. The rules call for a new-entrant safety audit within the first twelve months of operation (49 CFR 385.307; 49 U.S.C. 31144(g)(1)).
