RICHARD L BROWN
RICHARD L BROWN (USDOT 1111322) in FILER, ID — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.
- Has active operating authority that's tenderable today (common or contract).
- No pending authority revocation.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
- BIPD on file: $1,000,000.
- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- 2 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2015-01-22 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.

- No preventable crashes in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 8.496 not elevated.
- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.
- 1 other active carrier(s) operate from this exact street + ZIP. High counts are often legitimate registered-agent / virtual-office addresses — treat as context, not a verdict.
- 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.
