Review before tenderingHazmat-authorized33 power units

ROADRUNNERS AUTOTRANSPORT INC (USDOT 395100) in HAMMOND, IN — 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 is $750,000 — below your $1,000,000 floor (federal general-freight minimum is $750,000).
  • Cargo insurance on file.
  • No history of insurance lapses.
  • Current BIPD policy (CANAL INSURANCE CO.) was filed 22 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2026-01-28) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
  • Satisfactory safety rating.
  • No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate is above the national roadside average.
  • 5 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate not available.
  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 27 times, most recent 2026-01-28 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2005-08-17 (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.

Built from FMCSA's public Safety Management System data — guidance, not legal advice. Verify directly with the carrier and your cargo policy before tendering.
