LARRY J SCHAEFER AND JOHN L SCHAEFER

• 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: $1,000,000.
• No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
• No history of insurance lapses.
• Current BIPD policy (GREAT WEST CASUALTY CO.) was filed 27 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2025-08-19) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
• Safety rating is Conditional — FMCSA found enough issues to flag but not enough to downgrade to Unsatisfactory.
• No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
• 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 2 times, most recent 2025-08-19 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
• FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2012-03-08 (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.

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