Review before tenderingHazmat-authorized19 power units

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

  • Satisfactory safety rating.

  • Vehicle out-of-service rate is above the national roadside average.

  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 2 times, most recent 2012-11-05 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2007-05-03 (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. The Hazmat Compliance BASIC is also withheld for this hazmat carrier.
