Petroleum Carriers LLC (USDOT 993280, MC-421823) is an active motor carrier based in Richmond, Virginia that FMCSA's census classifies as for-hire and that declares hazardous materials on its MCS-150. Operation: interstate. Operating authority: active for-hire authority (MC). Fleet: 188 power units and 143 drivers (143 with CDLs).

Cargo classes declared: liquids / gases, general freight, building materials, construction, paper products, other cargo (other: Petroleum). FMCSA safety rating: satisfactory, from a compliance review on December 16, 2008, 18 years ago; it reflects that review, not current performance. In the last 24 months it had 121 roadside inspections, 14 of them (11.6%) with an out-of-service order; 101 hazmat inspections; 8 reportable crashes (0 deaths, 5 injuries); a crash on record does not by itself mean the carrier caused it.

USDOT number: The registration number every interstate (and many intrastate) commercial carrier holds.

MCS-150: The registration form carriers file with FMCSA and must update at least every two years; fleet, drivers, cargo and the hazmat flag on this site come from it, as the carrier declared them.

Safety rating: FMCSA's result after an on-site compliance review: Satisfactory, Conditional or Unsatisfactory. A rating is not refreshed unless FMCSA reviews the carrier again, so many are years old; each profile gives the review date. Most carriers have never been reviewed and are not rated; that is not a bad mark.

Power units: Trucks and tractors that pull or carry freight.

Reportable crash: A crash involving the carrier's vehicle with a death, an injury treated away from the scene or a vehicle towed away. FMCSA records it whoever was at fault.

Cargo classes: Self-declared on the MCS-150 from FMCSA's fixed list. Some carriers tick most of the list, so a long list means 'declared', not 'specialises in'; the hazmat flag does not say which hazardous materials.
