Review before tendering3 power units
FUEL MASTERS LLC (USDOT 3974993) in COLTON, CA — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

- BIPD on file: $1,000,000.
- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- No history of insurance lapses.

- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
