Valley Express Inc is a for-hire motor carrier based in Mapleton, North Dakota, operating 245 power units and 246 drivers. The carrier has logged approximately 20.06 million miles in 2025 and has been registered since 1974. Vehicle out-of-service inspections occurred at a 24.6% rate compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, while driver out-of-service inspections were at 2.4% versus the snapshot benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles show controlled substances violations at the 24.1st percentile (low band), hours-of-service compliance at the 69.1st percentile (moderate band), and vehicle maintenance at the 73.7th percentile (moderate band)—these are independent estimates, not official FMCSA or CSA scores.

HaulReport interpretation — automatically generated from the public FMCSA data below and our percentile estimates, and checked against those source figures.
