Safety Rating

What this FMCSA record shows

  • Registered with FMCSA in August 1986, about 40 years ago, so it is past the 18-month new-entrant period.
  • No roadside inspections in the last 24 months. That is common for new, small or local carriers, but it also means there is no out-of-service rate to judge. Ask for a current certificate of insurance and confirm active authority before tendering a load.
