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 strongest signal is Unsafe Driving at 0.0% of peer cohort average — well under norm. Combined with a clean acute-flag picture, that supports the A+ grade. Main caution: inspection volume is light for this fleet size — see the data-confidence note below.
