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: 1,079 motor carriers operating 38 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Unsafe Driving at 208.6% of peer cohort average — roughly double the norm and the dominant reason for the A grade. Main caution: unsafe driving is the weakest area of the record and warrants direct confirmation with the carrier.
