JOHN E DASHER TRUCKING
Data confidence
The values below are exactly what FMCSA carries on file for this carrier. Items flagged here read as unusual. ProHRHQ does not override federal values — corrections go through DataQs or an updated MCS-150.
- 24-month inspection volume: 2 inspection(s) — Per FMCSA SMS, the inspection volume in the 24-month review window is light. Peer-cohort percentages derived from a small sample carry less stability than the same percentages computed from a larger sample.
- FMCSA safety rating: S (19941104) — Per FMCSA filing, the safety rating on file is 32 years old. FMCSA does not automatically expire ratings, but a rating issued before the 24-month review window does not reflect the current compliance posture.
What this carrier is
Registered with FMCSA in 1974, JOHN E DASHER TRUCKING is a small-fleet private carrier (hauls own goods) based in Oil City, PA. Operating footprint on the current MCS-150: 9 power units and 9 drivers. The carrier runs regional lanes and operates under USDOT registration without interstate for-hire authority. FMCSA lists U.S. Mail as the sole cargo classification on file — a single flag often reflects a dedicated operation rather than the full scope of freight moved. FMCSA safety rating on file: Satisfactory (Nov 4, 1994).
Fleet composition on file: 9 owned trucks.
Safety record
The strongest signal is Unsafe Driving at 0.0% of peer cohort average — well under norm. Combined with a clean acute-flag picture, that supports the Insufficient Data grade. Main caution: inspection volume is light for this fleet size — see the data-confidence note below.
Against similarly sized 9-power-unit peers, this carrier is below cohort average in Unsafe Driving, Hours-of-Service, Driver Fitness, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, and Vehicle Maintenance.

What the BASIC table shows
What the BASIC table shows
Each BASIC (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category) is a slice of the safety record — Unsafe Driving, Hours-of-Service, Driver Fitness, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, Vehicle Maintenance, and Hazmat. "% of cohort" is this carrier's time-weighted violation count divided by the average among similarly sized peers. Below 100% means below cohort average; above 100% means above. Acute or critical violations are flagged in their own column and reflect FMCSA's most serious citation classes.
Inspection and violation record
What this carrier likely fits
This is a private carrier (hauls own goods) that runs regional lanes, primarily interstate inside a 100-mile radius, at a small fleet scale, with u.s. mail on the FMCSA cargo classification list. No FMCSA for-hire operating authority on file, so this carrier reads as a private (own-goods) operation rather than a freight-service provider available to shippers.

- No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
- 2 inspections in the 24-month SMS window.
- Three-year public record: 3 violations, 2 reportable crashes.
- Operates as a small-fleet private carrier (hauls own goods) running regional lanes with 9 power units on file.
