Review before tendering6 power units
JOURNEY TOURS LLC (USDOT 2572938) in MONTGOMERY, IN — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

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

- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- 2 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2025-01-16 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
- Current BIPD policy (NATIONAL INDEMNITY COMPANY) was filed 26 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2025-12-22) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
- Satisfactory safety rating.
- No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.

- No preventable crashes in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 0 not elevated.

- Authority involuntarily revoked 11 times, most recent 2025-12-22 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).

- 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.
