Standard Forwarding LLC, operating as DHL Freight, is a for-hire motor carrier based in Des Moines, Iowa, with 302 power units and 277 drivers. In 2023, the carrier operated 18.6 million miles. Vehicle out-of-service inspections occurred at a 52.0% rate compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, while driver out-of-service inspections were at 1.3% versus the snapshot benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles show controlled substances at 14.4 (low), hours-of-service compliance at 24.8 (low), and vehicle maintenance at 82.4 (elevated)—an independent estimate, not an official FMCSA or CSA score.

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