Review before tendering39 power units
GATWOOD CRANE SERVICE (USDOT 1242286) in ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — 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: $2,000,000.
- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- No history of insurance lapses.
- Satisfactory safety rating.
- No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
- Driver and vehicle out-of-service rate is above the national roadside average.
- 1 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 0 (rate rests on a stale MCS-150 mileage self-report).
- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.
- MCS-150 self-report is stale (>24 months) — fleet size, mileage, and driver counts are low-confidence.
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2005-02-01 (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.
Built from FMCSA's public Safety Management System data — guidance, not legal advice. Verify directly with the carrier and your cargo policy before tendering.
