  • No pending authority revocation.
  • Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
  • BIPD on file: $1,000,000.
  • No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.

  • Driver and vehicle out-of-service rates are at or below the national roadside average.
  • 2 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.

  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2009-05-15 (C).
