  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 12 times, most recent 2025-10-14 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2004-08-12 (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.
