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

- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.

- 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.
