Scales Express Inc, a for-hire carrier based in Tifton, Georgia, operates 205 power units and has been registered since 1995. The carrier logged approximately 14.1 million miles in 2025. Vehicle out-of-service inspections occurred at a 24.8% rate compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, while driver out-of-service rates were 3.2% versus the benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles show controlled substances at the 21st percentile (low band), hours-of-service compliance at the 55th percentile (moderate band), and vehicle maintenance at the 58th percentile (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.
