Out-of-Service Rates vs National Average
✗ Worse than national average (+27.1%)
FMCSA rates vehicles on level 1, 2 and 5 inspections; this carrier has none in the current window, so no rate can be calculated.
Out-of-service rates follow FMCSA's definition: the share of relevant roadside inspections in which at least one out-of-service order was issued. Vehicle rates use level 1, 2 and 5 inspections; driver rates use level 1, 2, 3 and 6. National averages are computed from the same FMCSA inspection data.
| Date | State | Level | Violations | OOS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09/09/2026 | FL | Driver Only | 0 | ✓ |
| 07/20/2026 | FL | Driver Only | 0 | ✓ |
| 05/07/2025 | FL | Driver Only | 2 | 1 |
24-month inspection window. Updated daily.
Violation Breakdown
A single inspection can produce more than one out-of-service order, so this is a count of orders, not a rate. See the FMCSA vehicle and driver out-of-service rates in Safety Performance above.
