BRAY & SCARFF is a mid-size fleet operating out of LAUREL, Maryland with USDOT number 521920. The company operates 55 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, BRAY & SCARFF has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 39/100, classified as High Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

BRAY & SCARFF has undergone 29 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 17.2%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 13.8%, 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 BRAY & SCARFF carries 31 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated October 6, 2026. Across 29 recorded inspections, the record carries 4 driver out-of-service violations and 7 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 39/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for BRAY & SCARFF: 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. 39 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's High Risk band.

Maryland Trucking Compliance: LAUREL Area Carriers

BRAY & SCARFF 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

BRAY & SCARFF is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.

The carrier is classified as Private Property, meaning it transports its own goods incidental to its primary business, exempt from MC-number authority but still subject to safety regulations under 49 CFR Part 390.

Business organization type: Corporation.

BRAY & SCARFF 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, 26 drivers); intrastate within 100 miles (26 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: 400,000 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

Intrastate driver count: 26. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.

FMCSA Crash History

The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 9 crash events involving BRAY & SCARFF in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 5 involved a reported injury, and 7 resulted in a tow-away. 9 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: RICHMOND HWY, VA on November 21, 2024.

BRAY & SCARFF's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend

Inspections cluster geographically across Maryland (26), Virginia (1), District of Columbia (1). The concentration in Maryland is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams BRAY & SCARFF's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.

Across the 29 recorded inspections, BRAY & SCARFF's 17.2% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 13.8% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
