Generated July 30, 2026 from the live FMCSA / NHTSA record. Decision support — not an FMCSA safety rating or a recommendation to use or avoid any carrier. Verify authority & insurance before tendering.
Watch · 2
- No active operating authority — No active common, contract, or broker authority is on file for a for-hire carrier.
- Reincarnated carrier — prior authority revoked — FMCSA links this carrier to a previously revoked operating authority — the classic chameleon-carrier pattern. Verify it is not evading an enforcement history.
In good standing · 1
- Out-of-service rates below national average — Both vehicle and driver OOS rates beat the national benchmark across 58 inspections.
