Is Ocean State Transit LLC Legitimate? Safety & Fraud Check
A quick, plain-English check of whether this carrier looks safe and legitimate to hire — based on public FMCSA and U.S. Treasury records. It's a screening aid, not a guarantee; always confirm on the official FMCSA SAFER site.
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.

FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) BASIC Scores

How to read these scores: Percentile rankings compare this carrier against similar carriers (by fleet size and operation type). A score of 25 means this carrier is safer than 75% of peers in that category. A score of 85 means only 15% of peers performed worse. FMCSA flags a BASIC as "alert" when the carrier exceeds intervention thresholds — these warrant direct verification with FMCSA.
