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 A+ grade. Main caution: nothing stands out as disqualifying on this record.

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 refrigerated (reefer) carrier that runs local lanes, primarily intrastate, with general freight, fresh produce, meat, and other listed classes 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. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (89 trailers against 42 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
