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.
- 24-month inspection volume: 4 inspection(s) — Per FMCSA SMS, the inspection volume in the 24-month review window is light. Peer-cohort percentages derived from a small sample carry less stability than the same percentages computed from a larger sample.
Safety record
The strongest signal is Hours-of-Service at 0.0% of peer cohort average — well under norm. Combined with a clean acute-flag picture, that supports the Insufficient Data grade. Main caution: inspection volume is light for this fleet size — see the data-confidence note below.
Against similarly sized 5-power-unit peers, this carrier is below cohort average in Unsafe Driving, Hours-of-Service, Driver Fitness, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, and Vehicle Maintenance.
| BASIC | 3yr violations (TW) | Raw 3yr | Cohort avg | % of cohort | Acute |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unsafe Driving | 5.00 | 3 | 6.23 | 80.3% | |
| Hours-of-Service | 0.00 | 0 | 2.64 | 0.0% | |
| Driver Fitness | 0.00 | 0 | 1.01 | 0.0% | |

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.
