FIRTH TRUCKING LLC
FIRTH TRUCKING LLC (USDOT 2568472) in SIMMS, TX — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- 1 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2016-01-02 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.

- 1 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 16.82.
- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.

- 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.

BASIC safety measures
