Filed Coverage Below the Amount on Record
The authority record requires $1,000,000 of liability coverage, and the largest filing on record is $750,000. Excess layers are filed separately and may not be visible here — confirm with the insurer before treating this as a shortfall.
Elevated Out-of-Service Rate
28.6% of this carrier's roadside inspections in the last 24 months put a driver or vehicle out of service — higher than 80% of carriers with a comparable number of inspections.

This is a CarrierChk calculation from FMCSA inspection records, not an FMCSA rating.

Shippers Seen at Inspections
Shipper names recorded by roadside inspectors over roughly the last three years. Only inspected loads appear, so this is a sample of who the carrier hauls for, not a complete customer list. Names are as entered at the roadside; blanks and placeholders such as “N/A” or “same as carrier” are left out.
