USDOT 990142MC-Docket MC425274GREENSBORO, MD
Do not tender1 power units

FRANKLIN & OSCAR TRANSPORT LLC (USDOT 990142) in GREENSBORO, MD — carries a hard disqualifier. 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.
  • Carrier appears to be under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action — the strongest do-not-tender signal.
  • BIPD on file is $750,000 — below your $1,000,000 floor (federal general-freight minimum is $750,000).
  • No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
  • 3 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2010-05-09 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
  • Unrated by FMCSA. Most carriers are unrated — unrated is not the same as unsafe.
  • 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 not available.
  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 17 times, most recent 2021-06-25 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • 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.

Under the FAST Act, FMCSA publishes an absolute per-category measure (not a 0–100 percentile) for these five BASICs — the alert flag, not the raw number, is the risk signal. The Crash Indicator and Hazmat Compliance BASICs are statutorily withheld from public view.
