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: 615 motor carriers operating 47 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The strongest signal is Controlled Substances/Alcohol 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 an intermodal drayage operator that runs regional lanes, primarily interstate inside a 100-mile radius, at a mid-sized fleet scale, with general freight, and intermodal containers on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (101 trailers against 47 tractors) is consistent with drop-and-hook or dedicated lane operation.
