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: 37 motor carriers operating 283–285 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The strongest signal is Vehicle Maintenance at 23.1% 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 general-freight carrier that runs local lanes, primarily intrastate, at a large fleet scale, with general freight on the FMCSA cargo classification list. Trailer-heavy fleet composition (968 trailers against 284 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.
