IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC: PASCO, Washington Trucking Company
IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC is a small fleet operating out of PASCO, Washington with USDOT number 538253. 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, IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 46/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC has undergone 8 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 87.5%, 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 37.5%, 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 IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC carries 64 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 30, 2026. Across 8 recorded inspections, the record carries 3 driver out-of-service violations and 19 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 46/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS 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. 46 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
Washington Trucking Compliance: PASCO Area Carriers
IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC falls under the Western Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 10). 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
IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC 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.
IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS 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, 6 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: 26,695 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: 5 straight trucks, 1 tractor, 3 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 1 CDL-holding driver 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: Pipe, Irrigation Supplies. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across Washington (7), Oregon (1). The concentration in Washington is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 8 recorded inspections, IRRIGATION SPECIALISTS INC's 87.5% vehicle out-of-service rate sits substantially above the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 37.5% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
