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 local lanes, primarily intrastate, at an enterprise fleet scale, with machinery, large objects, utility equipment, construction materials, 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 (884 trailers against 1 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
