Transport Designs Inc, a for-hire carrier based in Savage, Minnesota, operates 95 power units and 95 drivers and has been registered since 1986. In 2024, the carrier logged approximately 11.9 million miles. Vehicle out-of-service inspections occurred at a 24.4% rate compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, while driver out-of-service inspections were at 1.5% versus the benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles show controlled substances violations at 9.7 (low band), hours-of-service compliance at 39.8 (low band), and vehicle maintenance at 60.8 (moderate 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.

Vehicle OOS24.4%above the 21.2% snapshot benchmark · 135 inspections
Driver OOS1.5%below the 5.2% snapshot benchmark · 269 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.
