Out of Service Order
FMCSA has placed this carrier out of service. It may not legally operate. Do not tender freight to this carrier until the order is lifted.
Elevated Out-of-Service Rate
87.5% 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. Drivers were put out of service on 70.0% of 10 driver inspections — higher than 99% of carriers with a comparable number of driver inspections (national average 5.5%). This is a CarrierChk calculation from FMCSA inspection records, not an FMCSA rating.
Inactive Carrier Status
FMCSA lists this carrier as inactive. Confirm current operating status before booking.
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.

FMCSA records show the Southwind Risk Retention Group, Inc. BI&PD Primary/Excess policy SWR-PA-0005993-26 cancelled effective July 10, 2026, and no replacement filing appears on record. Confirm current coverage with the carrier or its insurer before booking.
