Out of Service Order
FMCSA has placed this carrier out of service since August 3, 2026. FMCSA's stated reason: 90 day failure to pay fine. It may not legally operate. Do not tender freight to this carrier until the order is lifted.
Elevated Out-of-Service Rate
100.0% of this carrier's roadside inspections in the last 24 months put a driver or vehicle out of service — higher than 99% of carriers with a comparable number of inspections. This is a CarrierChk calculation from FMCSA inspection records, not an FMCSA rating.
No Active Operating Authority
FMCSA does not show active operating authority for this carrier. A carrier without it cannot legally haul interstate for-hire freight.
No Insurance Filing On Record
No active insurance filing appears in FMCSA records for this carrier. Confirm coverage directly with the insurer before booking.

Names are as entered at the roadside; blanks and placeholders such as “N/A” or “same as carrier” are left out.
