The top of this page is the public federal record on this carrier — what FMCSA shows about their size, status, and safety history — plus how we read it. The cards below are what you can do about it. Fix something wrong on the record. Post a driver job. Get help recruiting drivers. Train your drivers and dispatchers. Sort out 1099 vs. W-2 pay. Improve how this carrier reads to shippers, brokers, and insurance.
This page. Reflects the last reingestion of FMCSA source data (MCS-150, SMS, MCMIS). If the federal record changes, later refreshes may reflect those changes.
DataQs is the federal correction channel run by FMCSA. Submissions go directly to FMCSA.
Where a carrier wants to take public driver applications, openings can be listed so drivers reviewing this record see current postings on the same surface.
Hiring status reflects whatever the carrier has posted publicly.
Where ordinary job posting is not producing enough qualified driver flow, recruiter-supported placement connects screening to the carrier's operating profile and lane needs.
Where inspection patterns in specific BASIC categories warrant it, documented driver and dispatcher training connects to the topics that drive future inspection outcomes — pre-trip inspection, defensive driving, and ELD/HOS workflow.
Training changes operating practice going forward. Historical FMCSA data on this page stays as-is. Guest access available on each course.
Where a carrier operates with 1099 drivers, a 1099-vs-W-2 review and a Professional Employer Organization arrangement may be relevant to workforce stability, workers' compensation posture, and audit exposure.
Whether this applies depends on how the carrier pays their drivers today.
A clean federal record, documented driver training, how the carrier pays drivers, and a carrier-written description here all affect how this carrier looks to shippers, brokers, and insurance underwriters when they pull this page up.
This card is about how the public record reads to shippers, brokers, and insurance underwriters. They make their own approval decisions.

Map: OpenStreetMap · pin on SUMNER, WA · address from MCS-150.
Fleet composition on file: 65 owned trucks, 11 owned tractors, 99 owned trailers.
For shippers and brokers: no public safety history is on file — common for carriers new to interstate operation or without recent roadside inspections.
Safety record
Not in the FMCSA SMS peer-cohort grading system. SMS letter grades require a minimum inspection volume within the 24-month SMS window; carriers below that threshold remain in the public record but are not scored.
No roadside inspection history in the public record. Limited visibility is not the same as low risk — the carrier may simply not have been roadside-inspected in the last three years.
What this carrier likely fits
This is a flatbed / open-deck operator that runs local lanes, primarily intrastate, with logs, poles, beams, lumber, building materials, and construction materials on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (99 trailers against 11 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.
