Do not tender3 power units
SMARTWAY TRANSPORT INC (USDOT 2592824) in ENGLEWOOD, OH — carries a hard disqualifier. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.
- Has active operating authority that's tenderable today (common or contract).
- Authority revocation is currently pending — carrier may lose operating authority soon.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
- BIPD on file is $750,000 — below your $1,000,000 floor (federal general-freight minimum is $750,000).
- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- 2 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2023-04-06 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
- 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.
- Driver and vehicle out-of-service rate is above the national roadside average.
- 2 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 0.
- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.
- Authority involuntarily revoked 16 times, most recent 2025-09-15 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2019-07-24 (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.
