At a glance
Safety record
Grade shown here is ProHRHQ analysis based on public FMCSA data. It is not an official FMCSA safety rating. The authoritative federal record is on FMCSA SAFER/SMS.
Current peer-cohort snapshot based on public FMCSA BASIC measures. Peer cohort: 1,203 motor carriers operating 36 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Hours-of-Service at 228.2% of peer cohort average — roughly double the norm and the dominant reason for the A grade. Main caution: hours-of-service is the weakest area of the record and warrants direct confirmation with the carrier.

What this carrier likely fits
This is a flatbed / open-deck operator that runs over-the-road lanes, primarily interstate over 100 miles, at a mid-sized fleet scale, with machinery, large objects, and oilfield equipment on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (106 trailers against 28 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
