- Driver out-of-service rate well above average — 25.0% of driver inspections were placed out of service vs the 6.7% national average.
- Not enough inspection history to rate — 4 federal roadside inspections in the last 24 months. FMCSA itself will not score a carrier's vehicle or driver record on fewer than 5, and neither will we — verify authority, insurance and references directly before tendering.
