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: 117 motor carriers operating 115 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.

What this carrier likely fits
This is a flatbed / open-deck operator that runs regional lanes, primarily interstate inside a 100-mile radius, at a large fleet scale, with building materials on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (73 trailers against 21 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
