NAVAJO EXPRESS INC (USDOT 202381) in DENVER, CO — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.

- Crash Indicator and Hazmat Compliance BASICs are statutorily withheld from public SMS under the FAST Act — their absence is not a clean record; use the crash-risk signals above instead.
