Inspection & Safety Data (Key Insight)

Inspection results for the past 24 months show:

Total Inspections: 7
Out of Service (OOS):

• Vehicle: 5
• Driver: 5

OOS Rate:

• Vehicle: 71.4%
• Driver: 71.4%

National Averages:

• Vehicle: 22.26%
• Driver: 6.67%

What This Means

Out-of-service violations indicate that a truck or driver was deemed unsafe and removed from operation immediately.

Compared to national averages:

• Vehicle OOS is over 3x higher
• Driver OOS is over 10x higher

This suggests:

• Potential compliance issues
• Equipment or operational concerns
• Increased risk compared to industry norms

Additional Operational Context

Public data also shows:

• The company operates a small fleet (2 trucks, 2 drivers)
• The business was established recently (2024)
• Multiple address and contact record changes have occurred

While not uncommon for newer carriers, these factors are important when evaluating reliability.

Why This Matters in Disputes

When a carrier makes public claims—such as “non-payment”—it’s important to look at:

• Contract terms
• Communication records
• FMCSA safety data
• Operational history

This provides full context, not just one side of the story.

Broker Takeaways

Before booking any carrier, always:

1. Check FMCSA Data

Verify:

• Authority status
• Inspection history
• Safety performance

2. Evaluate Risk vs Reward

Lower rates aren’t always worth:

• Delays
• Disputes
• Compliance issues

3. Document Everything

Always have:

• Signed rate confirmation
• Clear payment terms
• Delivery procedures

Final Thoughts

Fast Fargo LLC is an active carrier with proper authority—but public data shows higher-than-average safety and inspection concerns.

For brokers, the lesson is simple:

Do your due diligence.

Because in auto transport:

• The cheapest carrier isn’t always the best
• And one bad load can cost far more than the rate difference
