WAY MAKER HAULING LLC, DOT #4528997 FMCSA Safety & Compliance Report
Your truck was put out of service on your latest roadside inspection: Virginia on July 21.
Your MCS-150 lists 6 trucks and 2 drivers.
FMCSA shows your registration on February 4, 2026. New-entrant safety audits happen inside the first twelve months (49 CFR 385.307; 49 U.S.C. 31144(g)(1)).
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).

WAY MAKER HAULING LLC: GAINESVILLE, Virginia Trucking Company
WAY MAKER HAULING LLC is a small fleet operating out of GAINESVILLE, Virginia with USDOT number 4528997. The company operates 6 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, WAY MAKER HAULING LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 55/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
WAY MAKER HAULING LLC has undergone 1 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 100.0%, 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 WAY MAKER HAULING LLC carries 5 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated July 21, 2026. Across 1 recorded inspection, 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 55/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for WAY MAKER HAULING 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. 55 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
WAY MAKER HAULING 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.
WAY MAKER HAULING 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 within 100 miles (short-haul, 2 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: 1 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
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 6 straight trucks. 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 2 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: 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).
