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: 2,901 motor carriers operating 24 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Unsafe Driving at 202.2% 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.
| BASIC | Carrier (3yr, weighted) | Cohort avg | vs. cohort | Acute |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unsafe Driving | 29 | 14.34 | 202.2% | No |
