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.

Operating footprint on the current MCS-150: 947 power units and 1,120 drivers. The carrier runs regional lanes and holds active MC139763 authority.

Fleet composition on file: 77 owned trucks, 870 owned tractors, 2,779 owned trailers.
Safety record
The strongest signal is Driver Fitness at 18.2% of peer cohort average — well under norm. Combined with a clean acute-flag picture, that supports the B grade. Main caution: nothing stands out as disqualifying on this record.
Against similarly sized 939–954-power-unit peers, this carrier is below cohort average in Driver Fitness, and above cohort average in Unsafe Driving, Hours-of-Service, 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.
