THE WAGGONERS TRUCKING
USDOT 30176MC-Docket MC026396BILLINGS, MT
Review before tenderingHazmat-authorized30 power units
THE WAGGONERS TRUCKING (USDOT 30176) in BILLINGS, MT — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.
- Has active operating authority that's tenderable today (common or contract).
- No pending authority revocation.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
- BIPD on file: $5,000,000.
- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- 2 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2012-04-01 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
- Current BIPD policy (GEMINI INSURANCE COMPANY) was filed 21 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2025-08-11) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
- Satisfactory safety rating.
- No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
- Driver and vehicle out-of-service rates are at or below the national roadside average.
- 2 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate not available.
- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.
- Authority involuntarily revoked 17 times, most recent 2025-08-11 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2007-02-21 (C).
- 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. The Hazmat Compliance BASIC is also withheld for this hazmat carrier.
Built from FMCSA's public Safety Management System data — guidance, not legal advice. Verify directly with the carrier and your cargo policy before tendering.
