Safety record
The key signal in this record is Vehicle Maintenance at 268.3% of peer cohort average — roughly double the norm and the dominant reason for the B grade. Main caution: vehicle maintenance is the weakest area of the record and warrants direct confirmation with the carrier.
Against similarly sized 98-power-unit peers, this carrier is below cohort average in Hours-of-Service and Driver Fitness, and above cohort average in Unsafe Driving 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 flatbed / open-deck operator that runs regional lanes, primarily interstate inside a 100-mile radius, at a mid-sized fleet scale, with building materials, machinery, large objects, oilfield equipment, 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.

- No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
- 95 inspections in the 24-month SMS window (3 driver OOS, 32 vehicle OOS).
- Three-year public record: 386 violations, 10 reportable crashes (1 involving fatalities).
- Vehicle Maintenance is the weakest area — 268.3% of peer cohort average (roughly double the norm).
- Operates as a mid-sized-fleet private flatbed / open-deck operator running regional lanes with 98 power units on file.
