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.
NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC is a large fleet operating out of HUDSON, Illinois with USDOT number 71317. The company operates 615 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 82/100, classified as Low Risk. This score reflects limited public data — a full roadside-inspection history was not available at page generation, so the inspection and out-of-service components use conservative neutral values.
Limited inspection data is currently available for NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC. Carriers with fewer recorded inspections may face increased scrutiny during roadside encounters, as FMCSA inspectors may flag them for more thorough reviews.
A CIS score of 82 places NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC in the Low Risk category. This carrier demonstrates strong safety practices across inspections, maintenance, and driver compliance. Maintaining this score requires ongoing document tracking, timely medical card renewals, and consistent pre-trip inspections.
Motor carriers operating in Illinois must comply with both federal FMCSA regulations and state-specific transportation requirements. The HUDSON, IL corridor is monitored by FMCSA field offices and state highway patrol units conducting roadside inspections. Carriers based in HUDSON should ensure driver qualification files, vehicle inspection reports, and hours-of-service records are current and audit-ready at all times.
NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC falls under the Midwestern Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 05). Service-center territory drives which FMCSA Investigator team would conduct a new-entrant audit or compliance review if one is triggered for this carrier.
FileFlo helps Illinois 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.
NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC 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.
Business organization type: Corporation.
NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC is flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazardous materials carrier (HM indicator: Y). Hazmat carriers are subject to additional regulations under 49 CFR Subchapter C, including HM-126 reporting, HM-232 security planning, and the Hazmat Cargo Tank Annual Inspection requirement (49 CFR 180.407). Penalties for hazmat violations can reach $89,678 per knowing violation (2026 inflation-adjusted) — substantially higher than the $16,550 baseline.
Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 547 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: 57,293,112 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.
The carrier reports 547 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.
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 20 crash events involving NUSSBAUM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 2 involved a fatality, 4 involved a reported injury, and 20 resulted in a tow-away. 20 events meet the federal-recordable threshold under 49 CFR 390.5 (fatality, injury treated away from the scene, OR tow-away of any vehicle).
Federal-recordable crashes feed the Crash Indicator BASIC in CSA — carriers above the intervention threshold are 7–10x more likely to be selected for a compliance review than peer carriers below the threshold. Insurance carriers also pull federal-recordable crash counts during quoting; a single recordable crash in a 24-month look-back can drive a 10-20% premium increase for owner-operators and small fleets.
Most recent recorded event: IR 70, BUTLER (TOWNSHIP OF), OH on 20260507.
