VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP: ROANOKE, Virginia Trucking Company
VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP is a mid-size fleet operating out of ROANOKE, Virginia with USDOT number 842694. The company operates 24 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, VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 57/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History
VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP has undergone 13 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 23.1%, 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 15.4%, 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 VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP carries 34 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated June 3, 2026. Across 13 recorded inspections, the record carries 3 driver out-of-service violations and 3 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 57/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP: 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. 57 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
Virginia Trucking Compliance: ROANOKE Area Carriers
VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP 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
VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP 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.
VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP 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, 29 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: 317,800 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: 19 straight trucks, 1 tractor, 2 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.
FMCSA Crash History
The FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) crash dataset records 1 crash event involving VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP in the available reporting window. Of these, 0 involved a fatality, 1 involved a reported injury, and 1 resulted in a tow-away. 1 event meets 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: CLOVERDALE ROAD, VA on December 21, 2021.
VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP's Inspection Fingerprint: Geographic Pattern and Trend
