Is Buckman's INC Legitimate? Safety & Fraud Check

A quick, plain-English check of whether this carrier looks safe and legitimate to hire — based on public government records. It's a screening aid, not a guarantee.

Our read on this carrier
Worth a Closer Look
A few things are worth checking before you hire this carrier or give them a load.
✓ Looks fine ! Worth checking × A real concern
Shares owners with 1 shut-down carrier
The same person or people also run one or more carriers that are no longer active. This is sometimes a sign of a company re-registering to leave a bad record behind — verify who you're really dealing with.
2 other trucking companies use this same address
This can be perfectly normal (a shared business park or mailbox) — but it can also point to related or shell companies. Confirm the address if anything else looks off.
Not on any U.S. sanctions list
This carrier's name doesn't appear on the U.S. Treasury sanctions blocklist — clear to work with on that basis.
Licensed and authorized to operate
The FMCSA lists this carrier as having active operating authority right now.
No history of a revoked license
This carrier's operating authority has not been revoked and re-registered.
Roadside safety record looks normal (4% off-road)
4% of roadside inspections ended in an "out-of-service" order — at or below the ~21% national average.

These checks use public U.S. government records — the carrier's license status, safety-inspection and crash history, ownership links, and the U.S. Treasury sanctions list — refreshed automatically. A flag doesn't prove wrongdoing; it's a prompt to verify before you do business.

Officer names listed on this carrier's MCS-150 also appear on the following USDOT registrations in FMCSA's public database. Common names may match unrelated individuals; this is a research starting point, not an accusation. Always verify directly with FMCSA before drawing conclusions.

Other Carriers Registered at This Address (2)

These carriers list the same physical street, city, and state in FMCSA's public database. Shared addresses commonly reflect legitimate co-located businesses, multi-fleet owners, or registered-agent services. Always verify directly with FMCSA before drawing conclusions.

About this data: All entries above come from FMCSA's public USDOT registry (MCS-150 filings). We surface name and address overlaps so shippers, brokers, and insurers can perform their own due diligence. The presence of an entry here does not imply wrongdoing by any party.

FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) BASICs

FMCSA's figures for this carrier from 74 roadside inspections in the 24-month SMS window (0 driver and 2 vehicle out-of-service inspections). For property carriers FMCSA publishes the BASIC measure but, under the 2015 FAST Act, not the percentile or alert status, so none is shown here.
