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: 1,225 motor carriers operating 50 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Vehicle Maintenance at 249.6% 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.
| BASIC | Carrier (3yr, weighted) | Cohort avg | vs. cohort | Acute |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unsafe Driving | 34 | 30.14 | 112.8% | No |
| Hours-of-Service | 4 | 16.20 | 24.7% | No |

Against similarly sized 50-power-unit peers, this carrier is below cohort average in Hours-of-Service, Driver Fitness, and Controlled Substances/Alcohol, and above cohort average in Vehicle Maintenance.

What this carrier likely fits
This is a general-freight carrier that runs regional lanes, primarily interstate inside a 100-mile radius, at a mid-sized fleet scale, with general freight on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (108 trailers against 50 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.
