16 to 25 trucks: $2,400 a month. Start by Dec 31 and it stays $2,400. From Jan 1 it's $2,950.
Your truck was put out of service on your latest roadside inspection: Washington on September 17.
Your MCS-150 lists 25 trucks and 36 drivers.
FMCSA shows your registration on March 6, 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).

LEE EQUIPMENT LLC: POWAY, California Trucking Company
LEE EQUIPMENT LLC is a mid-size fleet operating out of POWAY, California with USDOT number 4545036. The company operates 25 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, LEE EQUIPMENT LLC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
LEE EQUIPMENT LLC has undergone 5 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 20.0%, 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 LEE EQUIPMENT LLC carries 6 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 17, 2026. Across 5 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 59/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for LEE EQUIPMENT 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
LEE EQUIPMENT 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.
LEE EQUIPMENT 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, 36 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
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 16 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 3 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.
How LEE EQUIPMENT LLC Compares to the National Average
Across the 5 recorded inspections, LEE EQUIPMENT LLC's 20.0% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly 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%.
Take LEE EQUIPMENT LLC's compliance work off your plate
FMCSA shows your registration on March 6, 2026. 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)).
