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: 1,668 motor carriers operating 29 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The strongest signal is Driver Fitness at 0.0% of peer cohort average — well under norm. Combined with a clean acute-flag picture, that supports the A grade. Main caution: nothing stands out as disqualifying on this record.

What this carrier likely fits
This is a tanker operator that runs over-the-road lanes, primarily interstate over 100 miles, at a mid-sized fleet scale, with general freight, liquids and gases, and chemicals on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Tractor-heavy composition with limited trailer pool suggests live-load / live-unload work or reliance on shipper-supplied trailers.
Drawn from FMCSA-reported cargo classifications, route profile, and fleet composition. Not a substitute for direct confirmation of equipment and lane capability with the carrier.
