FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status

The public FMCSA record for CHEMA'S TRUCKING LLC carries 27 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 22, 2026. Across 50 recorded inspections, the record carries 0 driver out-of-service violations and 2 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 100/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for CHEMA'S TRUCKING LLC: 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. 100 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Low Risk band.

Texas Trucking Compliance: BROWNSVILLE Area Carriers

CHEMA'S TRUCKING LLC falls under the Western Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 06). 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

CHEMA'S TRUCKING LLC 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.

CHEMA'S TRUCKING LLC 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, 37 drivers); interstate within 100 miles (short-haul, 5 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: 7,200,000 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

The carrier reports 42 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 20 crash events involving CHEMA'S TRUCKING LLC in the available reporting window. Of these, 1 involved a fatality, 8 involved a reported injury, and 19 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).

Most recent recorded event: I-85, RURAL MACON, AL on February 16, 2026.

Inspections cluster geographically across Texas (37), Louisiana (4), Indiana (3). The concentration in Texas is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams CHEMA'S TRUCKING LLC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
