The top of this page is the public federal record on this carrier — what FMCSA shows about their size, status, and safety history — plus how we read it. The cards below are what you can do about it. Fix something wrong on the record. Post a driver job. Get help recruiting drivers. Train your drivers and dispatchers. Sort out 1099 vs. W-2 pay. Improve how this carrier reads to shippers, brokers, and insurance.
This page. Reflects the last reingestion of FMCSA source data (MCS-150, SMS, MCMIS). If the federal record changes, later refreshes may reflect those changes.
DataQs is the federal correction channel run by FMCSA. Submissions go directly to FMCSA.
Where a carrier wants to take public driver applications, openings can be listed so drivers reviewing this record see current postings on the same surface.
Hiring status reflects whatever the carrier has posted publicly.
Where ordinary job posting is not producing enough qualified driver flow, recruiter-supported placement connects screening to the carrier's operating profile and lane needs.
Where inspection patterns in specific BASIC categories warrant it, documented driver and dispatcher training connects to the topics that drive future inspection outcomes — pre-trip inspection, defensive driving, and ELD/HOS workflow.
Training changes operating practice going forward. Historical FMCSA data on this page stays as-is. Guest access available on each course.
Where a carrier operates with 1099 drivers, a 1099-vs-W-2 review and a Professional Employer Organization arrangement may be relevant to workforce stability, workers' compensation posture, and audit exposure.
Whether this applies depends on how the carrier pays their drivers today.
A clean federal record, documented driver training, how the carrier pays drivers, and a carrier-written description here all affect how this carrier looks to shippers, brokers, and insurance underwriters when they pull this page up.
This card is about how the public record reads to shippers, brokers, and insurance underwriters. They make their own approval decisions.

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 in the 24-month SMS window. Peer cohort: 3,418 motor carriers operating 21 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Driver Fitness at 224.7% of peer cohort average — roughly double the norm and the dominant reason for the A grade. Main caution: driver fitness is the weakest area of the record and warrants direct confirmation with the carrier.
| BASIC | Carrier (24 mo, weighted) | Cohort avg | vs. cohort | Acute |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unsafe Driving | 17 | 13.19 | 128.9% | No |
| Hours-of-Service | 5 | 5.81 | 86.1% | No |
| Driver Fitness | 3 | 1.34 | 224.7% | No |
| Controlled Substances/Alcohol | 0 | 0.00 | 0.0% | No |
| Vehicle Maintenance | 2 | 31.94 | 6.3% | No |
| Hazmat | 0 | 0.60 | 0.0% | n/a |
What the BASIC table shows
- Strongest BASIC: Controlled Substances/Alcohol at 0.0% of cohort average — well under norm.
- Worst area vs. similar-size carriers: Driver Fitness at 224.7% of the average for carriers their size.
- No serious violation flags in the last 24 months. Under those conditions the ProHRHQ grade stays at C or higher — see how the grade is built.
- Roadside inspections behind these numbers (last 24 months): 12. More inspections means the comparison to similar carriers is more reliable.
Where above-cohort patterns repeat in specific BASIC categories, documented driver and dispatcher training (ProHRHQ training catalog) connects directly to the inspection topics that drive those categories — pre-trip inspection, log compliance, and route planning. Training does not change historical FMCSA data; it changes operating practice that affects future inspections.
Against similarly sized 21-power-unit peers, this carrier is below cohort average in Hours-of-Service, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, and Vehicle Maintenance, and above cohort average in Unsafe Driving and Driver Fitness.
