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: 221 motor carriers operating 81 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.
