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: 360 motor carriers operating 80 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Vehicle Maintenance at 222.1% of peer cohort average — roughly double the norm and the dominant reason for the A grade. Main caution: vehicle maintenance is the weakest area of the record and warrants direct confirmation with the carrier.

Trailer-heavy fleet composition (523 trailers against 80 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
