Review before tendering17 power units
A-1 ROCKET INDUSTRIES INC (USDOT 2080588) in AMARILLO, TX — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

- 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 (BERKLEY NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY) was filed 27 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2022-04-25) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.

- No preventable crashes in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 0 not elevated.

- 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.
