Carrier Intelligence Score

63/100 Moderate Risk

Category	Score	Max
Safety Rating	22	30
Inspection Pass Rate	10	20
Out-of-Service Rate (vs FMCSA national avg)	9	15
CSA BASIC percentiles	Not measured	n/a

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.

Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status

The public FMCSA record for PATRIOT FREIGHT GROUP LLC carries 11 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated 20261009. Across 2 recorded inspections, the record carries 1 driver out-of-service violation and 0 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 63/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

A CIS score of 63 places PATRIOT FREIGHT GROUP LLC 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.

Kentucky Trucking Compliance: PRESTONSBURG Area Carriers

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

FileFlo helps Kentucky 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

PATRIOT FREIGHT GROUP 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.

PATRIOT FREIGHT GROUP 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, 7 drivers); intrastate beyond 100 miles (7 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

Intrastate driver count: 7. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
