Operating authority suspended Aug 20, 2026; reinstated Aug 21, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file. FMCSA's new registration system launched May 14, 2026 and has recorded some insurance suspensions and requirement changes in error; confirm with the insurer or motor carrier before acting.

High Utilization Fleet

This motor carrier reports 213,333 miles per power unit annually, which exceeds typical single-driver limits (~150,000–180,000 miles/year). This motor carrier is still rated, but the high utilization may indicate:

  • Team driving operations where trucks run nearly 24/7 with rotating drivers
  • Stale fleet count in MCS-150 (power units not updated while operations expanded)
  • Data entry anomaly in annual mileage reporting
  • Expedited/dedicated routes with unusually high truck utilization

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Aug 20, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Aug 21, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Aug 20, 2026 and Aug 21, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL, 2 hours of service (Nov 2024 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Cross-border operation
    25 inspections on Mexico-plated units; 57% of all inspections were in Texas.
    Ask: operating radius and Mexico lanes.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
