  • FMCSA safety rating: S (20220907) — Per FMCSA filing, the safety rating on file is 4 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.

ProHRHQ analysis · peer-cohort grading on FMCSA SMS data

Safety record

B Above average

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

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.

ProHRHQ analysis · operating fit

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.

Background reading

How this page is built

This page is assembled from the public FMCSA record — Company Census (MCS-150), Safety Measurement System (SMS), and MCMIS — plus ProHRHQ peer-cohort analysis derived from those sources. Data refreshes on a monthly cycle; the version on screen reflects the most recent reingestion. To correct something on the federal record itself, file a DataQs request with FMCSA — once accepted, the change flows back into the next refresh.
