SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC: MOSELEY, Virginia Trucking Company
SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC is a small fleet operating out of MOSELEY, Virginia with USDOT number 499123. The company operates 9 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 69/100, classified as Moderate Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC has undergone 16 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. The driver out-of-service rate is 18.8%, above the national average of 5.51%. Common causes include hours-of-service violations, expired medical certificates, and CDL issues.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC carries 47 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 5, 2026. Across 16 recorded inspections, the record carries 3 driver out-of-service violations and 6 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 69/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for SOUTHERN TRANSPORT 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. 69 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Moderate Risk band.
Virginia Trucking Compliance: MOSELEY Area Carriers
SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC falls under the Eastern Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 03). Service-center territory drives which FMCSA Investigator team would conduct a new-entrant audit or compliance review if one is triggered for this carrier.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.
The carrier holds an Private Property;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.
Business organization type: Corporation.
SOUTHERN TRANSPORT 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: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 9 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: 950 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: 9 tractors, 20 trailers. 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 9 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.
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 8 crash events involving SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 5 involved a reported injury, and 8 resulted in a tow-away. 8 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: HULL STREET ROAD AT ROUTE 288, CHESTERFIELD, VA on August 13, 2025.
SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across North Carolina (2), West Virginia (2), Michigan (2). The concentration in North Carolina is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How SOUTHERN TRANSPORT INC Compares to the National Average
