GM EXPRESS INC: CHICAGO, Illinois Trucking Company
GM EXPRESS INC is a small fleet operating out of CHICAGO, Illinois with USDOT number 761278. The company operates 7 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, GM EXPRESS INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
GM EXPRESS INC has undergone 36 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 19.4%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 2.8%, within acceptable range compared to the 5.51% national average.
Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status
The public FMCSA record for GM EXPRESS INC carries 72 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated August 27, 2026. Across 36 recorded inspections, the record carries 1 driver out-of-service violation and 11 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 59/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for GM EXPRESS 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. 59 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
Illinois Trucking Compliance: CHICAGO Area Carriers
GM EXPRESS 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.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
GM EXPRESS 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.
GM EXPRESS 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, 10 drivers); interstate within 100 miles (short-haul, 1 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: 664,198 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: 6 tractors, 10 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 11 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 17 crash events involving GM EXPRESS INC in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 5 involved a reported injury, and 15 resulted in a tow-away. 17 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: IS 255, NON-CITY OR UNINCORPORATE, MO on May 11, 2024.
GM EXPRESS INC's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
Inspections cluster geographically across New Mexico (8), Colorado (5), Illinois (5). The concentration in New Mexico is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams GM EXPRESS INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
How GM EXPRESS INC Compares to the National Average
Across the 36 recorded inspections, GM EXPRESS INC's 19.4% vehicle out-of-service rate sits slightly below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 2.8% driver out-of-service rate sits slightly below the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
