Percentiles rank a carrier against peers; FMCSA intervenes at or above a fixed threshold per BASIC (65 or 80 for most carriers). FMCSA does not publish percentiles for most property carriers, so those show as not reported. The crash indicator is not a crash count.

Insufficient data for a safety score

FMCSA publishes no BASIC percentiles for this carrier, it has too few current inspections to compare with the national average, and it has no out-of-service order, pending FMCSA action or Conditional or Unsatisfactory rating to score on. Review registration, authority and insurance directly.

Roadside inspections, last 24 months

  • 1 inspections.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate: no vehicle inspections.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% (0 of 1 inspections). Too few inspections to compare with the national average (6.67%).

    Legal name, DBA, physical and mailing address, phone and email domain are compared day over day against the FMCSA census since 2026-07-12, latest 2026-10-08. 30 days in that period have no snapshot; a change in a gap is shown with the date range it fell in.
