Active liability insurance
FMCSA cargo filing (BMC-34/83)

No active FMCSA cargo filing on file.

FMCSA L&I filing evidence — not a shipper certificate of insurance (COI). Cargo (BMC-34) is primarily an HHG / household-goods requirement; general freight carriers often have none.

Broker bond / trust (BMC-84/85)

No active broker surety bond or trust fund on file.

BMC-84 is a surety bond; BMC-85 is a trust-fund agreement. Required for property brokers / freight forwarders — not motor-carrier BIPD liability insurance.

Carrier analysis & narrative context Status notes, risk intelligence, and safety profiles

Carrier is unrated

FMCSA has not assigned this carrier a formal safety rating. Use the inspection history and BASIC scores below to assess on-road performance.

Risk intelligence

Their highest FMCSA BASIC percentile is vehicle_maint at 2.0.

SMS BASIC Scores FMCSA Safety Measurement System per-BASIC scores
BASIC Inspections Serious Measure Percentile Alert As Of
Driver Fitness 0 — 0.00 0 — Aug 31, 2026
Controlled Substances / Alcohol 0 — 0.00 0 — Aug 31, 2026
Hours of Service 2 — 0.10 0 — Aug 31, 2026
Unsafe Driving 24 — 1.15 1 — Aug 31, 2026
Vehicle Maintenance 10 — 2.00 2 — Aug 31, 2026

Higher percentiles indicate worse performance relative to peer carriers. Carriers at or above the FMCSA intervention threshold are marked ALERT.

Recent Inspections

No roadside inspections on file for this carrier in our FMCSA import window.

Public FMCSA inspection feeds cover roughly the last three years of roadside activity (not the full MCMIS archive). Older inspections — including those from before a carrier went inactive — are usually absent for every carrier, not just closed ones.
