Platinum Express Inc is a for-hire motor carrier based in Dayton, Ohio, operating 50 power units and 50 drivers since 1999. In 2025, the carrier logged 6,351,519 annual miles with a vehicle out-of-service rate of 31.0%, compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, and a driver out-of-service rate of 2.1%, compared to the snapshot benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated inspection-based safety metrics show the carrier at the 11th percentile for controlled substances (low band), 80th percentile for hours-of-service compliance (elevated band), and 73rd percentile for vehicle maintenance (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 OOS31.0%above the 21.2% snapshot benchmark · 100 inspections
Driver OOS2.1%below the 5.2% snapshot benchmark · 238 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.
