- No pending authority revocation.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.

- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2011-10-19 (C).
- Crash Indicator and Hazmat Compliance BASICs are statutorily withheld from public SMS under the FAST Act — their absence is not a clean record; use the crash-risk signals above instead.
