Raymond, here's how you find what I did: Go to safersys.org, this is the website for the Department of Transportation. Select "Carrier Snapshot" from the center column. Enter Superior's DOT License number, which is 837931, hit Enter. This is their "Carrier Snapshot" showing their address, phone number, and an overview of what they are allowed to carry. You can also see their average ratings after failed inspections versus the national average for ALL motor carriers, and the number of crashes they have been involved in. Now go to the blue box at the top right of the page. You can click on License & Insurance to see their license (click Authority History). Or, you can click SafeStat Results, which is where I found the info you're looking for. Clicking the blue boxes at the top left can take tyou to their various inspection categories. Click on Driver. In the center column, select OOS Inspections w/ OOS violations (OOS is Out Of Service, where the driver can't drive until the problem has been fixed), and voila! A list of all inspections, regular and after being pulled over by police, for the last three years, and the infractions they amassed. You can see the drug and alcohol violations given to one driver, plus another driver caught operating while disqualified, plus another not licensed to operate the full-size truck tractor he was driving. Makes you feel safe to be on the highway with these guys, huh? Then you can see their moving violations by viewing Detail Data under that heading. There's that pesky drug and alcohol stuff again. By clicking on the numbers to the left of each violation, you can get the report number. Should you need copies of the reports for your court case, take this information to the DOT to see if they can get you copies of the actual inspections. I hope this is helpful to you, and to anyone else who needs the same information.

I am the originator of this complaint, I would like to know how the lady with the consumer comment on superior moving & storage drivers being ticketed for illegal driving, intoxication and drugs received this information. This would help me find out any more information on their practices which could help my court case since I have to date gotten absolutely no where with them, the So. FL BBB and 18 (eighteen) State of Florida and Federal Agencies. A few of the agencies were understanding but could not do anything but make a report of it. Some of them just passed the 'buck' to another agency. Some of them we just never heard from. Any help anyone out there can give me would be appreciated. Thank You, Raymond

Raymond, you are still within the 9 month timeframe to submit claims. You may want to check with their insurance company to see if the claim was ever submitted. Do you know which company the additional insurance was purchased through? Here is their policy holder: VANLINER INSURANCE COMPANY Address: ONE PREMIER DRIVE, P.O.BOX26352 FENTON, MO US 63026 Telephone: (636) 343 - 9889 Fax: (636) 305 - 4270 Cargo Insurance Policy # CGV3571600 This may or may not interest you, but their drivers have been cited for 1. Not being licensed for the vehicle he's driving (a tractor-trailer), 2. Driving after being disqualified by a previous inspector, and 3. the driver was in use or possession of both drugs and alcohol. Very encouraging, huh?
