How to verify NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC

  1. Verify USDOT and MC numbers match the carrier's documents. Compare the USDOT number and MC docket on this page to the numbers on the carrier's invoice, rate confirmation, or load-board listing. A mismatch between the carrier's claimed numbers and the registered legal name is the single most common red flag.
  2. Check active operating authority and insurance status. Confirm the Authority Records show at least one ACTIVE docket for the type of operation you're booking, and that the Active Insurance card lists a current BIPD/Primary policy. A revoked authority or uninsured carrier cannot legally operate.
  3. Review safety rating and SMS BASIC scores. Check the carrier's FMCSA safety rating (if any) and the SMS BASIC table. A high percentile in any BASIC category — especially Unsafe Driving, HOS, or Vehicle Maintenance — is worth investigating before tendering a load.
  4. Examine inspection and crash history. Open the Inspection History and Crash History subpages for the full record. Look for patterns: repeat OOS findings on the same unit, multiple crashes in a short window, or violations clustered in one BASIC category.
  5. Cross-reference real-time data with FMCSA SAFER. For the most current snapshot — within 24 hours of any insurer filing or authority change — click through to the FMCSA SAFER lookup. TruckCodex mirrors SAFER and L&I daily; SAFER itself reflects filings within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions about NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC

Is NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC an active motor carrier?
Yes. NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC is registered with the FMCSA under USDOT 966390 and is currently shown as Active in the agency's Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). Active status means the carrier may legally operate, contingent on continuous insurance and authority filings.
What is NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC's safety rating?
NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC is unrated. FMCSA assigns formal safety ratings only after a compliance review, and the agency has not yet completed one for this carrier. Being unrated is not by itself a red flag — most active carriers in the database are unrated. Review the inspection and BASIC data below to assess on-road performance.
How many inspections has NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC had?
265 roadside inspections are on file for NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC in FMCSA's MCMIS database. Each inspection is summarized in the Inspection History section below — sortable by date, state, level, and out-of-service result. Newer inspections are pulled from the FMCSA SMS data feed daily.
What is NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC's out-of-service rate?
NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC's peak out-of-service rate is 14.0% (whichever is higher of driver-OOS or vehicle-OOS, computed from FMCSA roadside inspection data).

Where is NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC based?
NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC reports its physical address to the FMCSA as 7021 COLUMBIA GATEWAY DR SUITE 420, COLUMBIA, Maryland 21046. Carriers must file a Form MCS-150 every two years to keep their address current; an outdated address is a common compliance flag.

NATIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS INC self-reports 147 power units and 136 drivers on its most recent FMCSA Form MCS-150 filing.

About FMCSA carrier records

Every commercial motor carrier operating in the United States is required to register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and obtain a USDOT number. The USDOT number is a permanent, unique identifier — once assigned, it stays with the carrier for life and is never reissued to another company. Carriers must update their registration every two years on Form MCS-150 to keep their address, fleet size, and operating data current.

Carrier safety data lives in FMCSA's Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS): roadside inspections, crashes, out-of-service findings, and the seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) that make up the SMS scoring methodology. For-hire carriers must also hold operating authority — an MC, FF, or MX docket number — which is separate from the USDOT number and requires continuous insurance and BOC-3 process-agent filings to remain active.
