Do not tender80 power units

TSJ INTERNATIONAL SERVICES INC (USDOT 3035414) in LAREDO, TX — 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).
  • 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.
  • 1 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2020-02-04 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
  • Current BIPD policy (MS TRANSVERSE SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY) was filed 27 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2025-06-06) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
  • Unrated by FMCSA. Most carriers are unrated — unrated is not the same as unsafe.
  • No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
  • Driver and vehicle out-of-service rates are at or below the national roadside average.
  • 4 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 0.
  • 1 fatal crash(es) in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 11 times, most recent 2025-06-06 — 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.

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