EASTERN LIFT TRUCK CO INC
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.
- Fleet composition vs power-unit count: composition sums to 186; MCS-150 reports 907 power units — Per FMCSA filing, the fleet composition figures (owned + term-leased trucks and tractors) do not match the MCS-150 power-unit count. One of the two is likely stale.
- FMCSA safety rating: S (19940420) — 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 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 auto hauler that runs regional lanes, primarily interstate inside a 100-mile radius, at an enterprise fleet scale, with motor vehicles, machinery, large objects, and other: fork lifts/batteries 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 (46 trailers against 11 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
