Universal Intermodal Services Inc (USDOT 1162977, MC-468507), doing business as Universal, is an active motor carrier based in Warren, Michigan 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: 124 power units and 116 drivers (116 with CDLs). Its MCS-150 of November 13, 2025 reports 1,250,688 miles and gives 2025, the year it was filed, as the mileage year, so the figure is not a full calendar year's total. Cargo classes declared: chemicals, liquids / gases, dry bulk commodities, general freight, intermodal containers, building materials, construction, machinery, large objects, metal: sheets, coils, rolls, grain, feed, hay, refrigerated food, fresh produce, beverages, paper products, utilities, motor vehicles, household goods, meat, U.S. mail, other cargo (other: Auto Parts General Commodities). FMCSA has not issued it a safety rating (no compliance review on record). In the last 24 months it had 443 roadside inspections, 89 of them (20.1%) with an out-of-service order; 6 hazmat inspections; 30 reportable crashes (1 death, 12 injuries); a crash on record does not by itself mean the carrier caused it. Registration (MCS-150) last updated November 13, 2025.
