Estimated from public FMCSA data · updated 2026-06-07 · How we calculate this

Pacella Trucking Express Inc is a for-hire motor carrier based in Chicago, Illinois, operating 203 power units with 225 drivers since 1981. In 2024, the carrier logged 7.4 million miles and underwent 233 driver inspections and 22 vehicle inspections. Vehicle out-of-service rates were 45.5% compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, while driver out-of-service rates were 1.3% against the snapshot benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles show controlled substances at the 1st percentile (low band), hours-of-service compliance at the 26.6th percentile (low band), and vehicle maintenance at the 76.2nd percentile (elevated band)—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.

Out-of-service rates

Vehicle OOS45.5%above the 21.2% snapshot benchmark · 22 inspections
Driver OOS1.3%below the 5.2% snapshot benchmark · 233 inspections

Out-of-service rate = inspections resulting in an out-of-service order ÷ inspections. The benchmark is the inspection-weighted rate across this FMCSA snapshot — not an official national average. Rates are shown only with at least 5 inspections.

FMCSA sets each carrier's biennial update month from the last two digits of the USDOT number (last digit → month, second-to-last digit → odd/even year) — it is required even when nothing has changed. This is a schedule derived from the public rule, not a compliance determination. Verify and file on FMCSA · Deadline calculator
