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: 2,135 motor carriers operating 27 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 livestock hauler that runs over-the-road lanes, primarily interstate over 100 miles, at a mid-sized fleet scale, with general freight, building materials, intermodal containers, and other listed classes on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (65 trailers against 27 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
