Safety record

C On par with peers

The key signal in this record is Unsafe Driving at 312.4% of peer cohort average — roughly double the norm and the dominant reason for the C grade. Main caution: unsafe driving is the weakest area of the record and warrants direct confirmation with the carrier.

Against similarly sized 225-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.

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.
