JAMES L TURLEY (USDOT 390255) in CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — 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: $1,000,000.
  • Cargo insurance on file.
  • 3 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2013-05-09 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
  • Current BIPD policy (AMGUARD INSURANCE COMPANY) was filed 25 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2025-05-05) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
  • Satisfactory safety rating.
  • No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate is above the national roadside average.
  • No preventable crashes in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate not available not elevated.
  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 20 times, most recent 2025-05-05 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2003-01-23 (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. The Hazmat Compliance BASIC is also withheld for this hazmat carrier.

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