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: 320 motor carriers operating 63 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Vehicle Maintenance at 209.4% 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.

What this carrier likely fits
This is a waste hauler that runs local lanes, primarily intrastate, at a mid-sized fleet scale, with garbage, refuse, trash on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (97 trailers against 63 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
Drawn from FMCSA-reported cargo classifications, route profile, and fleet composition. Not a substitute for direct confirmation of equipment and lane capability with the carrier.
