  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 5 times, most recent 2018-09-04 — 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. The Hazmat Compliance BASIC is also withheld for this hazmat carrier.
