Filed Coverage Below the Amount on Record

55.6% of this carrier's roadside inspections in the last 24 months put a driver or vehicle out of service — higher than 94% of carriers with a comparable number of inspections. This is a CarrierChk calculation from FMCSA inspection records, not an FMCSA rating.
