BOZZUTOS INC (USDOT 57911) in CHESHIRE, CT — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

  • No pending authority revocation.
  • Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.

  • Satisfactory safety rating.

  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 4 times, most recent 2023-02-08 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2005-03-28 (C).
  • 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.
