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

- Authority involuntarily revoked 9 times, most recent 2025-04-10 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
- FMCSA mail to the carrier's physical address was returned undeliverable — the location may not be real (shell-carrier indicator).
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2012-01-12 (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.
