TruckCodex risk summary — SB TURF INC (USDOT 1487455) Verdict: CAUTION Book with caution — review signals below No hard OOS / revoked / uninsured blocker, but elevated risk signals need a human look before booking. Authority / census status: Active Blockers: (none) Cautions: • Conditional safety rating — Carrier did not meet the safety fitness standard at the last compliance review. • OOS rate worse than size peers — Driver 4.30% vs peer 0.00% · Vehicle 20.0% vs peer 14.3% • 2 fatalities on crash record — 22 FMCSA-reportable crashes on file. On file: (none) Source: https://truckcodex.com/usdot/1487455/ As of: Jul 28, 2026 Always confirm on FMCSA SAFER and L&I before tendering — TruckCodex mirrors public filings and can lag by up to a day.
