OTS LOGISTICS LLC
OTS LOGISTICS LLC (USDOT 2641747) in RUSSELLVILLE, KY — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

- BIPD on file: $1,000,000.

- Crash Indicator and Hazmat Compliance BASICs are statutorily withheld from public SMS under the FAST Act — their absence is not a clean record; use the crash-risk signals above instead.
