FOUR STARS TRANSPORT INC
FOUR STARS TRANSPORT INC (USDOT 3598008) in NORTH HILLS, CA — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

- No history of insurance lapses.
- Current BIPD policy (DB INSURANCE CO., LTD (U.S.BRANCH)) was filed 27 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2026-02-10) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.

- Authority involuntarily revoked 8 times, most recent 2026-02-10 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
