No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 100–199 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 12 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 6 a year), including 5 with injuries; similar fleets have about 3.2 a year. The grade counts 19 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.47×, violations 0.48× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.59× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -16%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    5 crashes with 9 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    8 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL (Dec 2024 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 59 of 172 violations (34%). Brake or light defects led to 13 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 8.3% vs 22.3% national; driver 1.9% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
  • Dangerous driving: 2
  • High speeding: 9
